The Biden administration is citing the Defense Manufacturing Act to increase baby formula production and is launching a program that will use commercial aircraft to produce formula-compliant formula abroad, the White House said Wednesday.
Under the Korean War-era National Security Mobilization Act, President Biden required suppliers to prioritize the provision of resources to American formula manufacturers. A new program, called Operation Fly Formula, will also direct the Department of Defense to use its commercial air cargo contracts to take a formula from other countries that meets U.S. health and safety standards. The White House did not name any countries.
