Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC is to import infant-formula powder to the U.S. from a facility in Singapore, in what it said is the largest contribution so far from a manufacturer aimed at mitigating a nationwide formula shortage.
The Enfamil owner said it would send the equivalent of 66 million 8-oz bottles of base infant formula powder between now and November—enough to feed more than 130,000 babies a month, on average. The powder is set to begin shipping this month to a facility in Minnesota, where it will then be blended and packaged for distribution.
