After noting two previous shipments that had already arrived, Biden stammered through the announcement of two more shipments from the United Kingdom and Australia that were arranged by the White House, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2022\/06\/01\/president-biden-announces-third-operation-fly-formula-mission\/\">3.7 million bottle<\/a> shipment from U.K.-based producer Kendal. But Biden flubbed the announcement, saying that the shipment would carry 3.7 bottles instead of 3.7 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re here today to hear from these manufacturers and to get updates on the progress we\u2019re making together,\u201d Biden said. \u201cThe shortage of baby formula is due to the closure back in February of one of Abbott\u2019s infant formula plants. We needed to take immediate action to stop contaminated\u2014\u201d he continued before repeatedly correcting himself. \u201cWe needed to take immediate action to stop contaminate\u2014 contaminated formula from hitting store shelves and putting American children at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden then touted the Food and Drug Administration\u2019s reaction to the shortage, claiming that the FDA \u201cacted quickly\u201d to bring Abbott\u2019s plant back into compliance with federal regulations. \u201cBut it takes time\u201d to restart production, Biden said, noting that Abbott accounts for nearly 40% of infant formula sold in the U.S. The president went on to recount the steps the administration took to attempt to address the shortage, first lauding his invocation of the Defense Production Act to deliver ingredients to producers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecond, we launched Operation Fly Formula, the major effort to airlift infant formula that meets American health standards and safety standards. Today I am proud to say that because of these flights, high-quality formula is already on the way to American shelves. To date, we\u2019ve already conducted two flights with 1.5 million 8-ounce bottles [worth] of Nestle and Gerber\u2019s hydro\u2014 excuse me, hypoallergenic formulas for children with severe allergies. Without Operation Fly Formula \u2026 it would have taken \u2026 three weeks to get this product to the United States. Because of our actions, it took three days \u2026 and today, I\u2019m announcing plans for a third flight with Bubbs Australia. \u2026 This flight would bring 4.6 million bottles of infant formula, and pave the way for up to 27.5 million total bottles of Bubbs infant formula to be supplied to American families in the weeks ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Biden touted the FDA\u2019s move to fast-track approvals for more imports of baby formula from other countries. He also spoke of a move by United Airlines to donate flights to deliver the formula from the U.K. \u201cToday, we\u2019re announcing that United Airlines has agreed to offer cargo space for Kendal Nutricare, for the delivery of 3.7 bottles of the formula, here in the States,\u201d Biden said. \u201cI want to thank United Airlines for partnering with us to get this done. They\u2019re doing it on their own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Biden: \u201cToday we\u2019re announcing that the United Airlines has agreed to offer cargo space \u2014 for the delivery of 3.7 bottles of baby formula.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TuqrrPfrGT\">pic.twitter.com\/TuqrrPfrGT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Greg Price (@greg_price11) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/greg_price11\/status\/1532077117718286336?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 1, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>United Airlines will fly begin flying the first shipments from Heathrow Airport to airports around the U.S. on June 9.
