The flight was the first of several to provide “some incremental relief in the coming days” as the government tries to address a critical baby formula shortage.
Deese told CNN’s "State of the Union" that Sunday’s flight brought 15% of the specialty medical grade formula needed in the U.S., and because of various actions by the government, people should see "more formula in stores starting as early as this week.""so that no individual company has this much control over supply chains."
The Biden administration has struggled to address the nationwide shortage of formula, particularly hypoallergenic varieties. The crisis follows the closure of the nation's largest domestic manufacturing plant in Michigan in February due to safety issues. Nestle said that over the past few months it has worked "around the clock" to address the formula shortage and help meet demand.
