Summary
The bill changes the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act so that any infant formula maker who gets a confirmed positive test for a harmful microbe must tell the Secretary of Health and Human Services within one business day, work with the Secretary to isolate or dispose of the product, and provide detailed test data. It also obligates the Secretary to issue progress reports, quarterly supply‑chain updates, and longer‑term reviews of the infant formula market, consulting with the USDA and other agencies. The goal is to make infant formula safer and keep the market stable.
