Per News Nation:

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, along with the Food and Drug Administration, are tightening the reins on infant formula contamination, the departments announced on Tuesday.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is leading the effort, dubbed “Operation Stork Speed,” to “ensure the ongoing quality, safety, nutritional adequacy, and resilience” of infant formula in the U.S.

The “Make America Healthy Again” representative met with top infant formula manufacturers on Tuesday, according to an X post from HHS. He spoke with chief executives from Similac maker Abbott Laboratories, Enfamil producer Reckitt Benckiser Group Plc, Bobbie Baby Inc. and Perrigo Co.

The meeting comes after a Consumer Reports investigation found that about half of the 41 formulas it tested contained potentially harmful levels of arsenic, lead, BPA, acrylamide or PFAS. “Many infants” in the U.S. rely on infant formula for at least some of their nutrition, according to the FDA.

Brian Ronholm, the nonprofit organization’s head of food policy, said it shared the findings with the administration prior to Tuesday’s announcement.
