The plant's reopening is a big step toward easing a nationwide baby formula supply shortage expected to persist into the summer.
Baby formula has become scarce on store shelves as the U.S. now faces more shortages amid supply chain backlogs.
Abbott said it initially will prioritize production of its EleCare specialty formulas for infants with severe food allergies and digestive problems who have few other options for nutrition. The company said it will take about three weeks before new formula from the plant begins showing up on store shelves.
"Over 127 million bottles of safe infant formula are heading to U.S. shelves as soon as possible," Biden said in a tweet.

Abbott says it’ll prioritize production of its specialty formulas for infants with severe food allergies and digestive problems. Once production resumes it’ll still take several weeks before those products arrive in stores and pharmacies.
