Uniformity for Preterm Infant Formula: Study and Temporary Federal Rules

This act aims to standardize regulations for preterm infant formula across the United States to ensure its safety and availability. For two years, uniform federal rules will apply, meaning differing or additional state regulations will be temporarily suspended. Concurrently, the government will study the preterm infant formula market and assess whether new federal pre-market approval requirements are needed.
Key points
Temporary Uniform Rules: For two years, only federal rules for preterm infant formula will apply, aiming for consistency nationwide.
Market and Safety Study: The government will study the availability of preterm infant formula and assess if manufacturers should obtain federal approval before selling the product.
Exception for Serious Misconduct: Despite uniformity, manufacturers can still be sued for willful misconduct causing death or serious injury to an infant.
