Nestle Flying Baby Formula to US From Europe to Help Alleviate Shortages

Nestle SA is airlifting baby formula to the United States from Europe in an effort to ease nationwide shortages, the company said on May 17.

The Swiss multinational food and drink manufacturer is flying Gerber baby food formula supplies to the United States from the Netherlands and Alfamino baby formula from Switzerland.

“We prioritized these products because they serve a critical medical purpose as they are for babies with cow’s milk protein allergies,” the company said in an emailed statement to Reuters.

“Both products were already being imported but we moved shipments up and rushed via air to help fill immediate needs.”
