- What it does
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) proposes to amend the regulations on nutrient specifications and labeling for infant formula as part of its phased, comprehensive review of infant formula nutrients. This action, if finalized, would amend the minimum and/or maximum levels of four required nutrients, change the unit of measure for certain nutrients, change the permitted source to meet one of the nutrient requirements, and amend the content of the required labeling. This action also includes a comprehensive assessment of four additional nutrients for which we conclude that the current required levels remain appropriate and reflect the best available scientific evidence on infant nutritional requirements and safe intake levels.
