Infant formula has been marketed without FDA testing.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published a general warning this week against the use of Mother’s Touch Formula to feed infants. The brand has begun to be marketed in the United States and is being sold in the state of Pennsylvania without FDA testing or clearance. The FDA cannot guarantee the food safety status of the formula, nor can it confirm or endorse the formula’s nutritional information it claims to make on its label.
“Parents and caregivers of infants who have purchased this product should discontinue use and throw it away,” the FDA wrote. “Parents and caregivers of infants who have used this product and are concerned about the health of their child should contact their health care provider.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Commissioner Califf as he directs the FDA’s focus and review of ingestable substances and foods.
- For FDA officials as they test and authorize nutritional items and medications.
- For parents and guardians as they continue to experience the formula shortage.
