Shifting Supply Chains, Infant Formula Under Scrutiny, Lunar Mission: Catch up on the Day’s Stories

In March 2025, the head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced a thorough FDA evaluation of infant formula ingredients, marking the first such review since 1998.
The review follows concerns raised by the 2022 formula shortage caused by an Abbott manufacturing plant shutdown and ongoing debates about added sugars and seed oils in formulas.
The FDA plans to conduct a two-hour discussion session in Washington this week and is accepting public feedback through September 11 to evaluate nutrient content, contaminants, and how U.S. Infant formula ingredients compare internationally.
Approximately 75% of babies in the United States are given formula within their first half-year, and around 40% depend solely on it, highlighting the significance of this review for infant nutrition and health guidelines.
This review, called Operation Stork Speed, could improve safety regulations, increase transparency, and update U.S. Formula standards to align with current science worldwide.
