Foreign baby formula shipment set to arrive Sunday
Washington Times ^ | May 21 | By Joseph Clark

Posted on 05/22/2022 10:49:39 AM PDT by RandFan

The first shipment of foreign-produced infant formula imported under “Operation Fly Formula” is scheduled to touch down in the U.S. on Sunday.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack will be on hand to receive 132 pallets of formula produced by Switzerland’s Nestle S.A. set to arrive in Indianapolis, the White House said Saturday.

This shipment includes bottles of both Nestlé Health Science Alfamino Infant and Alfamino Junior formula, which the administration prioritized due to the “critical medical purpose” they serve.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin ordered military aircraft to transport the shipment from Ramstein Air Base in Germany.

The administration announced Thursday that it had sourced 1.5 million bottles of formula from Nestle under the program.

The administration stood up Operation Fly Formula to streamline foreign formula imports and announced the program Wednesday along with invoking the defense production act to stem the ongoing formula shortage.

Under the program, the Health and Human Services and Agriculture departments will use Pentagon-contracted commercial aircraft to pick up overseas infant formula that meets U.S. health and safety standards.

‌The move lets the carriers bypass regular air-freight routes, which the White House says will speed up final delivery to store shelves.

There is something awlfully phoney about this formula shortage. Biden is stealing formula with taxpayer money to give to illegal aliens. What a phoney he is!

I just read we’re shipping tons of the stuff overseas. How about we keep what’s made here, and whoever we were shipping to gets the shipment we were going to get?

If it is coming from Europe, they have tighter standards on food additives than we do, corn syrup in food there is a rarity, and many food colorings/flavorings used here are outlawed over there.

gosh ... it’s like the U.S. has turned into a third world country that has to import critical supplies from first world industrial nations ...

Will this be given away for free? Or will there be some kind of Hunger Games competition?

I'm wondering as well with government-purchased and imported formula, how does it get from their to commercial store shelves?

And I repeatedly wonder why know one is seriously suggesting that mothers nurse feed their kids, which is incredibly healthier and most moms can do.

They maybe Nestle, but each country has their own set standards.

Our formula had nothing wrong with it except that Seaweed, FJB ordered the FDA to find a reason to shut ABBOT down as they are the larger of the 3, already producing less because of covid by Nov 2021. Down 40%, now 50%, BABY FORMULA, FOOD IS A ‘CLOSED COUNTRY’ MARKET, NO IMPORTS ALLOWED.

That may service 1-2 states depending on how many cans in box, and how many boxes on the pallets.

This is FJB’s way to open a ‘closed’ market to foreign made, eventually China. He got all the charities to ship it to Mex border and Ukraine, from Red Cross, Salvation Army, Church Ministries, That includes YOUR food. Wheat, potatoes shortages are next, Jiff Peanutbutter was recalled, Ham from Walmart, Destruction of chickens, eggs, higher feed, fuel drove up prices. Start reading about the 10 yr Great Depression, as this follows the same pattern Biden Great Depression 2.

These are medically fragile, note GASTRO PEDITRICIAN. So something in the formula and I’m fairly certain it’s the most use thickner a Seaweed, CARRAGEENAN they list as additive, it’s in Organic products, Dairy, Icecream, toothpaste. Hertiage Farms Chicken, the cheap stuff at Krogers in bold lettering. I’m a Gastro patient, so I had to learn a lot my idiot Gastro didn’t mention. It affects Chron’s Cilliac patients, it’s why we take GERD/REFLUX MEDS. Even google brings up the Governments info on it. There are 5 other thickening agents that don’t tear up your Gastro tract, or give you Cancer.

CARRAGEENAN

5-7 months till those first 2 teeth came in. I was mashing up soft veggies, box rice cereal, at 3 months and spoon feeding, Strange that is when they started to sleep all night or only get up once.

Strange to no one is promoting Breast feeding. First 3 days of the First Milk Colostrum has immunity and antibodies.

It will probably be lost on the idiots who support this child sniffing monster. See what happens when the federal government “cuts red tape?” Biden waved his pen and the restrictions on foreign baby formula vanishes. Meanwhile, diesel is now 6.60 per gallon. Up 10 cents since last night.

Take it from a dumbell hick texas Creationist mother of 7, if its the large (32 oz) bottles, that’s enough to take care of all the babies in America for..........20 hours!!!!

Yes. It is like a mirage. How this enters the market place is
another question. Old time Gerber use to say the only donated
goods that didn’t reinter the market were sent to Russia.
What looked to be charity turned into thievery as a rule.
