Except there is no regulation in the USA.
The submitted article is about food products consumed by infants (and is about the U.K. and China, mostly). Your statement "there is no regulation in the USA" is categorically false in regard to food products to be consumed by infants.

- jchrisa 14y agoDon't eat packaged food. Definitely don't feed it to babies. They are not a pet fish.
- begurken 14y agoUtterly useless and completely ignorant advice for a mother with an infant who is unable to breast feed. Small babies can't eat 'foods' as we know them; they can only drink. It's a shame to see people who are so out of touch with nature and society that they don't even know how human reproduction works. My wife breast-fed all of our children until over 18 months, but I know several mothers who are simply unable to breast feed. It's such a common problem that there is a serious job title called 'lactation consultant'. In the good old days, if a mother was unable to feed, the infant either fed from another woman, or died; we're talking about 20% infant mortality from malnutrition. That is the problem that formula was invented to solve. And no, you can't make your own from available foods; if you do that, your baby will most likely die.
