CNN: U.S. Military Flight Carrying Baby Formula to Depart Germany Tomorrow

EXCERPT:

COHEN: “That’s right, Alex. You know, in the past the U.S. basically hasn’t imported baby formula. We export baby formula. That’s because we were able to make enough. But that has just not been the case with supply issues as well as the shutdown of this major Abbott Nutrition plant. And now the United States needs help from other countries. So you see all these pallets behind me. This is 1.5 million bottles of infant formula. They’re 8-ounce bottles, 1.5 million of them. So let’s take a look at one of the labels you can see here. It says Nestle. That’s a Swiss company, that’s where this is coming from. Alfamino — that’s a hypoallergenic formula and that’s because a lot of the issues in the U.S. as we’ve been talking about on our air for some time have been for children who have allergies and can’t drink just any formula. So they’re shipping 1.5 million bottles of this. And I’ll tell you, Alex, it’s been a bit bittersweet to be here. The sweet part is talking to the service members. They are genuinely excited about this. They’re saying, wow, we do all sorts of shipping everywhere but to ship baby formula back to our home to save babies in our home in the United States — they’re excited about this. The bitter part is why did it come to this?”
