FDA to Review Baby Formula Ingredients After Kennedy Jr.'s Directive

The FDA is set to conduct its first comprehensive review of baby formula ingredients since 1998, prompted by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Parents have expressed concerns over added sugars and seed oils in formulas. Dr. Steven Abrams of the University of Texas emphasized the importance of ensuring that baby formula contains the appropriate types of fats and sugars, similar to those found in breast milk. This review aims to address these concerns and ensure the safety and nutritional adequacy of baby formula.
