A new federal analysis has offered reassuring findings regarding the safety of infant formula in the U.S., reporting "reassuringly low levels" of heavy metals, pesticides, and other potential contaminants. Federal health officials released the findings on Wednesday.
The comprehensive review, conducted as part of the Food and Drug Administration’s Operation Stork Speed project, was described as the "largest and most rigorous" to date. It concluded that the nation's infant formula supply is "safe," a sentiment echoed by both agency officials and independent experts.
