Purpose and Summary

Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Bill 119 HR 2472, also known as the Infant and Toddler Food Safety Act, aims to make amendments to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act in order to enhance the safety of food products specifically designed for infants and toddlers. The primary goal of this legislation is to ensure that these vulnerable populations are protected from harmful substances and contaminants that may be present in their food.

The bill includes provisions that require manufacturers of infant and toddler food to adhere to strict safety standards and regulations set forth by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This includes conducting regular testing and inspections of their products to ensure that they meet safety requirements.

Additionally, the legislation calls for increased transparency and labeling requirements for infant and toddler food products. This includes providing clear and accurate information about the ingredients used, potential allergens, and any other relevant information that may impact the safety of these products. Furthermore, the bill includes provisions to enhance the FDA's oversight and enforcement capabilities when it comes to regulating infant and toddler food products. This includes providing the agency with additional resources and authority to take action against manufacturers who fail to comply with safety standards. Overall, the Infant and Toddler Food Safety Act aims to prioritize the health and well-being of infants and toddlers by ensuring that the food products designed for them are safe and free from harmful substances. By implementing these measures, the legislation seeks to provide parents and caregivers with peace of mind knowing that the food they are feeding their young children is safe and nutritious.
