Infant Formula Safety Concerns

Some WIC participants have expressed concern about infant formula safety following the March 18 Consumer Reports publication. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates infant formula and if they determine that a formula is unsafe, they will remove it from the market. As a result of this report, the FDA announced a new initiative to strengthen its oversight of the formula industry, including increased testing for heavy metals and other contaminants. Currently, the FDA has not determined that any formulas in U.S. commerce are unsafe and require market removal. Our WIC team will keep participants updated if anything changes.
