19 Million Bottles of Baby Formula on the Way to the U.S.

  • “Operation Fly Formula” is helping struggling American families. 

American parents can expect more than one million pounds of baby formula to arrive in the United States next month.

 

This comes after weeks of a baby formula shortage caused by a recall of possibly contaminated formula.

Bringing more formula into the country is one of President Joe Biden’s top priorities. That’s why he started “Operation Fly Formula,” which is bringing formula to struggling American families.

 

The upcoming shipment is scheduled to arrive in the U.S. from Ireland and be on the shelves in July.

The Biden administration used the Defense Production Act to increase baby formula production in the U.S. The administration has also made it easier for moms and kids in poverty to access formula through the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children.
