“We understand the urgent need for formula and our top priority is getting high-quality, safe formula into the hands of families across America,” Abbott said in a statement. 

The company expects store shelves to house the formula, EleCare, around June 20.

As Abbott chugs away at resuming operations, the FDA announced June 3 it plans to import enough Gerber Good Start Gentle formula to make about 33 million 8-ounce bottles from Nestlé’s plant in Mexico. The formula is expected to hit shelves in July.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
