After production resumes, Abbott has said it will take at least eight weeks to begin shipping new product to stores.

A consent decree between the producer, Abbott, and the Food and Drug Administration that would pave the way for reopening the plant is"forthcoming," said Brian Deese, the director of the White House's National Economic Council. He added the agency would also take steps Monday to allow more foreign imports into the U.S. to address the urgent supply constraints.
The shortage stems from a February recall by Abbott, the nation's largest formula maker, that shuttered the company's Michigan plant and exacerbated ongoing supply chain disruptions among formula makers, leaving fewer options on stores shelves across much of the country. The shortage has led retailers like CVS and Target to limit how many containers customers can purchase per visit and forced some parents to swap and sell formula online.
Abbott is one of just four companies that produce roughly 90% of U.S. formula, so its shutdown squeezed already tight supplies.
