Sterilize was the wrong word, but a that high of a temperature will kill the germs that most commonly infect the infant human gut. You may have heard about cronobacter contamination being an issue a while back. If 80C doesn’t kill everything, but those germs pass through harmlessly, then it’s not a problem. If that doesn’t make sense to you as a microbiologist, you should let the US FDA know. https://www.fda.gov/food/foodborne-pathogens/cronobacter-sakazakii https://www.fda.gov/food/foodborne-pathogens/cronobacter-sak...
