The White House announced that 1.25 million cans of baby formula will be headed to the United States from Australia beginning in the coming weeks and months.
In an announcement made on Friday afternoon, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that the shipment, manufactured by Bubs Australia, will arrive in the United States "in the coming weeks and months."
The total shipment is equivalent to 27.5 million full-size, 8-ounce bottles of baby formula, according to the FDA, and contains "several varieties" of baby formula such as "stage 1 and 2 cans of Bubs Organic Grass Fed, Bubs Supreme A2 Beta-Casein Protein and Bubs Easy-digest Goat Milk."
The announcement comes amid a deepening baby formula shortage within the United States, with the out-of-stock rate for baby formula rising to 70% nationwide for the week ending May 22, compared to a 45% out-of-stock rate for the week prior.
