Protect Infant Formula from Contamination Act

This bill sets new rules for baby formula makers and the FDA when contaminated or unsafe formula is found. Formula manufacturers would have to tell the FDA within one business day if they find out their formula might be contaminated, missing required nutrients, or improperly labeled, including when harmful germs like salmonella are detected during testing. The FDA would then have to respond within one business day and, within 90 days, check whether the manufacturer is taking the right steps to fix the problem. The bill also requires the FDA to regularly report on the baby formula supply chain and work with other government agencies and formula industry groups to improve formula safety and supply.
