The Defense Production Act order requires suppliers of formula manufacturers to fulfill orders from those companies before other customers.
President Biden is taking immediate action to address the baby formula shortage crisis nationwide. The White House says it will invoke the Defense Production Act and launch Operation Fly Formula to expedite special flights of formula supply from other countries.
In a letter Wednesday to the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture, Biden directed the agencies to work with the Pentagon to identify overseas supply of formula that meets U.S. standards over the next week, so that chartered Defense Department flights can swiftly fly it to the U.S.
After a six-week inspection, FDA investigators published a list of problems in March, including lax safety and sanitary standards and a history of bacterial contamination in several parts of the plant. Under Monday’s agreement, Abbott must regularly consult with an outside safety expert to restart and maintain production.
