Baby powder formula bad?

I just heard that powder formula has toxins and bacteria in it. Is this true? Does anyone have a link to this?Baby powder formula bad?
Actually, it WAS available here in the states, but only in ethnic stores (where it is NOT FDA regulated, for some odd reason).





They were adding melamine in it to boost protein. Unfortunately, melamine in sensitive individuals (like babies!) tends to cause kidney problems.





Remember all those problems with the pets and contaminated food last year? That was caused by melamine, too.





I don't think the Chinese always think their cunning plan all the way through..





Anyway, as long as you don't buy your formula at ethnic stores, I'm sure you're fine.Baby powder formula bad?
In the United States, No. Baby formula is regulated by the FDA. Where did you hear this? is this about the formula from china?





How does FDA regulate Infant Formulas?


The safety and nutritional quality of infant formulas are ensured by requiring that manufacturers follow specific procedures in manufacturing infant formulas. In fact, there is a law -- known as the Infant Formula Act -- which gives FDA special authority to create and enforce standards for commercial infant formulas. Manufacturers must analyze each batch of formula to check nutrient levels and make safety checks. They must then test samples to make sure the product remains in good condition while it is on the market shelf. Infant formulas must also have codes on their containers to identify each batch and manufacturers must keep very detailed records of production and analysis.
Well, I'd never trust it. I always use homemade baby powder on my baby so I know exactly where the ingredients are coming from and what they are. Plus, it's super cheap and easy.





If you wanna know how, read this article. It gives the instructions and ingredients:

yes. it was in china. apparently the company was replacing protein with a toxin to save money and make it seem healthier, so many babies died from it...im not sure of a link but if you google tainted china powdered formula something should come up.
Use the major brands like Similac, Enfamil etc. Make sure the seal is not broken and you should be ok. Good luck.
