Infant Formulas Marketed in the U.S.
All infant formula products sold in the U.S., whether produced domestically or internationally, must meet all U.S. requirements, including those for safety and nutritional adequacy. Infant formula manufacturers are required to register and “notify” an infant formula to FDA at least 90 days before marketing the infant formula in the United States. Failure to provide the required premarket notification is prohibited under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
Caregivers should use caution when ordering imported infant formula products online or from third party distributors because these products may not meet U.S. requirements for safety and/or nutritional adequacy. Additionally, important information about product issues or recalls for those infant formulas may not reach caregivers.
The following tables include a listing of all non-exempt and exempt infant formulas that are currently available on the U.S. market.
- Non-exempt infant formulas (Table 1) are routine formulas intended for healthy, term infants.
- Exempt infant formulas (Table 2) are represented and labeled for use by infants who have inborn errors of metabolism (e.g., phenylketonuria [PKU]) or low birth weight, or who otherwise have unusual medical or dietary problems (21 CFR 107.3). Some exempt infant formula products are available on retail shelves or websites for general purchase, while others are prescribed by a physician and must be requested from a pharmacy or infant formula manufacturer, and/or are distributed directly to institutions such as hospitals, clinics, and State or Federal agencies.
