The White House announced that the first shipments of baby formula would arrive this weekend from Europe. "Operation Fly Formula" will send 132 pallets of Nestle Health Science Alfamino Infant and Alfamino Junior formula to Indiana from an airbase in Germany. Around 1.5 million 8-ounce bottles of three formulas, which are hypoallergenic for children with cow’s milk protein allergy, will arrive this week.

The formula mimics breast milk, although study shows breast milk is healthier.
