The Food and Drug Administration is preparing to release what it says is the most comprehensive data ever collected on contaminants in infant formula, the agency’s deputy commissioner said this week
“We believe the data is reassuring that the infant formula supply is safe,” said Kyle Diamantas, the deputy commissioner for human foods. “A lot of work has gone into protecting the infant formula supply.”
The data would be released next week, Diamantas said during a Wednesday webinar hosted by MAHA Action, the political group aligned with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again movement.
The testing was done under Operation Stork Speed, an initiative Kennedy launched last March that he said would strengthen oversight of infant formula safety and update nutritional standards for the first time since 1998.
