New international infant formulas in the United States: Understanding the Food and Drug Administration‐enforcement discretion

Take Away Points Most of the international formulas that were approved through Food and Drug Administration enforcement discretion are safe and appropriate for the majority of full‐term infants. Given that many of these international formulas may be purchased on websites sold by third‐party vendors, and may be in Stages rather than inclusive from 0 to 12 months, it is important to clarity where the formula is being purchased from. Many of the international formulas use different mixing ratios, so it is important that parents read the label to confirm proper mixing instructions.
