Millions of cans of baby formula will hit U.S. store shelves in the coming weeks and help ease a nationwide baby formula shortage, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
Abbott Nutrition of Illinois plans to ship 300,000 cans of specialty formula, the FDA said Tuesday. But those supplies won't be released until after the company's plant in Sturgis, Michigan, reopens on June 4.
On top of Abbott's shipment, U.K.-based Kendal Nutricare said it is sending 2 million cans of formula to the U.S., with those products expected be in stores next month, the FDA said. The shipment from Kendal might be the first of many overseas baby formula shipments, FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf said in a statement.
"We anticipate additional infant formula products may be safely and quickly imported into the U.S. in the near-term based on ongoing discussions with manufacturers and suppliers worldwide," he said.
