New rules would require more testing and faster reporting for infant formula to boost safety.
This bill would create new rules for how infant formula is made and tested, aiming to make it safer for babies. It would require manufacturers to test their products and factories for harmful germs and quickly report any positive results. The government would also have to tell Congress about these findings and any serious inspection issues.
Today, current rules for infant formula do not explicitly require standardized testing for pathogens and microorganisms in manufacturing facilities or finished products. There are also no specific requirements for manufacturers to notify the government of positive test results, or for the government to notify Congress. After this bill, manufacturers would have to test for specific germs in factories and products, report positive results to the government within one business day, and keep records. The government would then notify Congress within one business day of these reports or serious inspection findings.
