Perspective: operation stork speed: strategies for reviewing and advising on infant formula

A new federal initiative, called "Operation Stork Speed" has been proposed by the federal government to perform a comprehensive evaluation of infant formula regulation and safety in the United States. This initiative has the potential to update many aspects of infant formula content and evaluation but will require an extensive process including numerous federal agencies and the private sector. No single group, including the Food and Drug Administration, has the capacity to perform this evaluation independently, and no simplified process for obtaining public comments can adequately facilitate a comprehensive and unbiased review and recommendations.
