   @lain It wasn't about solving the problem, it was to get headlines saying the problem was solved. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just stuck in a warehouse undistributed.

     > According to a May 18 White House press release, the current administration has "directed the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to use Department of Defense (DOD) commercial aircraft to pick up overseas infant formula that meets U.S. health and safety standards, so it can get to store shelves faster."
     
     > According to the White House, as of this writing, two planeloads of European-manufactured formula have been delivered to American shores, one on May 19 and another on May 22, delivering in total "the equivalent of up to 1.5 million 8-ounce bottles." With roughly half of US babies relying on formula, there may be at least 1.5 million babies needing up to thirty-two ounces of formula per day. This means the government spent three days obtaining enough formula to keep American babies fed for about six hours.
