Summary
Target is committed to meeting the needs of all families. Throughout the baby formula shortage in 2022, we’ve worked urgently to identify new ways to supplement the limited domestic supply and ensure families have access to this critical product. As part of these efforts, our leaders, including CEO Brian Cornell, have partnered with the president to identify and expedite supply from overseas vendors via Operation Fly Formula.
Throughout June 2022, Target stores across the country will start to receive shipments of Kendamil formula, made by U.K. producer Kendal Nutricare. While this supply will alleviate some of the need, purchase limits will remain in place to ensure as many guests as possible have access to supply. We’ll continue to work with all vendors to increase inventory in the coming months.
