Affordable and Accessible Infant Formula Act

Bill 117 HR 8174, also known as the Affordable and Accessible Infant Formula Act, aims to address the issue of high costs and limited accessibility of infant formula in the United States. The bill seeks to make infant formula more affordable and accessible to families, particularly those facing financial hardships.

Furthermore, the bill includes provisions to improve the quality and safety of infant formula by increasing oversight and regulation of manufacturers. This would ensure that all infant formula products meet strict standards for nutrition and safety, protecting the health of infants who rely on these products for their nutrition. Overall, the Affordable and Accessible Infant Formula Act seeks to address the challenges faced by families in accessing affordable and high-quality infant formula, with the goal of improving the health and well-being of infants across the country.
