Is It Time to Put a Moratorium on New Infant Formulas that Are Not Adequately Investigated?
By Abrams S
Abstract
Infant formula development in the US is an ongoing process of development and regulation. For many years, there were few infant formulas in use in the US. Formulas were either “routine” cow milk protein-based, soy protein-based, or uncommonly, specialized formulas such as those for infants with a documented cow milk protein allergy or metabolic diseases. Decisions about formula selection were almost entirely at the discretion of a child’s pediatrician, and public advertising and marketing of infant formulas was not done or was extremely limited.
