Delta will ship about 212,000 pounds of the British formula maker’s product from London to Boston and Detroit, where it will then get to retailers, the White House said in a statement.
The shipment is the latest in a string of Operation Fly Formula flights aimed at restocking U.S. shelves after Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT), a major U.S. infant formula supplier, saw a key factory shut down earlier this year and recalled its product.
U.S. President Joe Biden this week said nearly 10 million bottles of safe infant formula would be brought into the country to be sold nationwide in the next two weeks.
His administration is also securing overseas formula made by Nestle SA (SIX:NESN) and Bubs Australia.
The bay formula shortage comes as Biden grapples with high inflation, gun violence and other issues before November congressional elections.
