Summary

Nutrition label

73% Informative

About three-quarters of U.S. infants consume formula during the first six months of life.

About 40% receive formula as their only source of nutrition, CDC says.

FDA regulations require that infant formulas contain 30 specific nutrients, with minimum levels for all and maximum levels for 10 of them.

Recent research suggests added sugars in infant formula may be linked to weight gain in children.

Infant formulas in the U.S. do contain seed oils, but that’s because there are a finite number of vegetable oils that provide the essential saturated and unsaturated fats that babies require.
