Summary
The products are all hypoallergenic formulas for children with cow's milk protein allergies.According to The White House, these formulas are being prioritized because "they serve a critical medical purpose and are in short supply in the United States because of the Abbott Sturgis plant closure."Sunday's shipment included 132 pallets of Alfamino Infant and Alfamino Junior, and 114 pallets of Gerber Good Start Extensive HA are expected to reach the US in the coming days.Along with Operation Fly Formula, President Biden invoked the Defense Production Act earlier this week to ramp up domestic production of baby formula."We're proud to be able to make a difference in the lives of children and their parents and caregivers who are struggling to find formula right now due to the recent shortage," Nestlé CEO Mark Schneider said in a statement.
