New rules would set limits on contaminants in infant formula to make products safer for babies.
This bill would require the government to set maximum safe levels for contaminants in infant formula. This means infant formula manufacturers would need to test their products and keep records, aiming to make infant formula safer for babies. If passed, these new rules would take effect about a year after the bill becomes law.
Today, there are no specific federal rules requiring the government to set maximum safe levels for contaminants in infant formula. After this bill, the Secretary of Health and Human Services would be required to create these new rules, and infant formula that doesn't meet them would be considered unsafe. Infant formula manufacturers would also have to test their products and keep records of those tests for at least 2 years.
