NEW YORK — Over a million pounds of baby formula is set to ship into the United States sometime next month, the Food and Drug Administration announced Friday.
Approximately 750,000 cans of Danone formula -- equivalent to 1.3 million pounds of formula or roughly 19 million 8-ounce bottles -- will be imported from the company's facility in Ireland and is expected to be sold at major retailers in July.
Vice President Kamala Harris greeted the latest shipment on Friday at Dulles International Airport in Virginia. The shipment included the equivalent of 200,000 8-ounce bottles of Kendamil formula flown by United Airlines from the United Kingdom. "There's no doubt there's more work to do," Harris said, adding:"We have seen progress, but the work that we need to do is to continue to move the formula as quickly as possible and get it on the shelves."
As flights continue to arrive, production at Abbott Nutrition's baby formula plant in Michigan has once again halted due to flooding in the area after severe storms.
