(AP Photo\/Susan Walsh)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN NEWSROOM<br \/>UPDATED 12:43 PM PT \u2013 Thursday, June 2, 2022<\/h5>\n<p>President Joe Biden addressed the ongoing baby formula shortage, as parents nationwide are struggling to feed their infants. While speaking to reporters at the White House Wednesday, he detailed his efforts to help get more formula onto store shelves.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe can\u2019t let up in the infant formula market until its back to normal,\u201d said Biden. \u201cIt\u2019s going to take a couple more months, but we\u2019re making significant process.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The shortage came after the Abbot baby formula plant in Michigan was shutdown. The shutdown, which took place in February, was due to two infant deaths linked to unsanitary conditions and practices at the facility.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe launched Operation Fly Formula, a major effort to airlift infant formula that meets Americans health standards and safety standards,\u201d he stated. \u201cToday, I\u2019m proud to say that because of this flight, high quality formula is already on the way to American shelves. We\u2019ve already conducted two flights with 1.5 million eight ounce bottles of Nestl\u00e9 and Gerber\u2019s hypo allergenic formulas for children with severe allergies.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Biden also claimed he was not informed of the severe nature of the shortage until early April.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cHere\u2019s the deal, I became aware of this problem sometime in early April,\u201d the president voiced. \u201cWe did everything in our power from that point on and that\u2019s all I can tell you right now.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite his remarks, critics point out that he didn\u2019t address the crisis until May. The president met with baby formula manufacturers for a virtual meeting Wednesday. During the meeting they told him they warned the FDA and his administration of upcoming shortages earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>His push to alleviate the crisis comes as the White House recently announced United Airlines will now ship 3.7 million eight ounce bottles of the Kendamil infant formula from the UK. This will be Operation Fly Formula\u2019s third mission.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019ve got an update on our efforts to bring more infant formula to the United States: We secured another 6.5 million bottles of safe infant formula from Nestl\u00e9. That means as of today, 94.5 million bottles of safe infant formula are heading to U.S. shelves. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1s4A5CphpB\">pic.twitter.com\/1s4A5CphpB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 President Biden (@POTUS) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS\/status\/1532406804751196160?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 2, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The\u00a0process will take three weeks to complete.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/crime-prevention-research-center-red-flag-laws-remove-all-due-process-protections-for-gun-owners\/\">Crime Prevention Research Center: \u2018Red Flag Laws Remove All Due Process Protections\u2019 For Gun Owners<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden listens as he meets virtually with infant formula manufacturers from the South Court Auditorium on the White House complex in Washington, Wednesday, June 1, 2022.
