The Trump administration released a plan Thursday to update requirements for certain nutrients in infant formula.
Last year, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced an initiative dubbed “Operation Stork Speed,” including the first review of infant formula ingredients and nutrition in nearly 30 years. The effort is part of his Make America Healthy Again agenda, as Kennedy and his supporters seek to crack down on artificial dyes and other ingredients used in the nation’s food supply.
