Traces of Melamine found in Infant formula by FDA
Federal authorities are touting the safety of infant formulas that have been found to have trace amounts of melamine in it. Despite statements that there were trace amounts of this chemical found in baby formula the FDA stands by its statement that the levels are safe.
However, last month they stated that they were unaware of a safe limit for infants to be exposed to malamine. A top official was even quoted as saying it would be a “dangerous overreaction” to stop feeding infants this formula who depend on it.
Dr. Stephen Sundlor, director of the FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition stated that the levels they found were very very low and that parents should not be worried about changing the diet of their infants, but should continue to feed them the same product, as it is in the best interest of the babies.
