Regulatory

EU vs U.S. Infant Formula

All U.S. infant formula is regulated by the FDA. It has been increasingly common for U.S. parents to import infant formula from Europe, which has food safety risks associated with this action. Many commonly imported European formulas are on the ‘Red List’ because they do not meet the U.S. infant formula nutrition and labeling requirements.
