About 849000 bottles of 8-ounce bottles of infant formula will be airlifted this weekend, the White House said in a statement. U.S. president Joe Biden announced that the shipment of about 56000 pounds of formula, with the assistance of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), will be delivered from Australia to Texas on July 4. In order to speed up the import of infant formula, Biden launched the "Flying Formula Initiative" to deliver more formula to stores as soon as possible. In addition, the Biden administration has taken other important actions to ensure that families are provided with adequate safe infant formula, including invoking the Defense production Act to reach an agreement between the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Abbott Laboratories Nutrition Company to reopen the company's plant.
