How does FDA regulate infant formulas?

August 01, 2006

 

Answer:

FDA ensures the safety and nutritional quality of infant formulas by requiring that companies follow specific manufacturing procedures. In fact, a law -- known as the Infant Formula Act -- was passed in 1980 giving FDA special authority to create and enforce standards for commercial infant formulas. Manufacturers must analyze each batch of formula to check nutrient levels and product safety. They then must test samples to make sure the product remains in good condition while it is on the market shelf. Infant formulas also must have codes on their containers to identify each batch, and manufacturers must keep very detailed records of production and analysis.

For more on infant formulas, see http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/inf-toc.html.
