Biden Invokes the Defense Production Act to Increase Baby-Formula Supply - The Wall Street Journal

The Biden administration is invoking the Defense Production Act to increase production of baby formula and launching a program that would use commercial aircraft to pick up overseas formula that meets U.S.

standards, the White House said Wednesday.

A new program called Operation Fly Formula would also direct the Defense Department to use its contracts with commercial air-cargo lines to pick up formula from other countries that meets U.S.

health and safety standards. The White House didn’t specify any countries.
