Article Abstract
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.

Whey protein isolate (WPI) is an important food ingredient, but its high allergenicity limit its application. Recently, metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) have been shown to be effective in modifying proteins. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of MPNs formed from (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and Fe on the structure, antibody-binding capacity, and functional properties of WPI.

Breast milk is rich in bioactive proteins and oligosaccharides, including osteopontin (OPN) and 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL), which are believed to promote the growth of beneficial microbiota and regulate intestinal barrier function. In this study, fermentation substrates including DOPN (digested OPN fragment), 2'-FL and their combinations in varying proportions, were prepared through in vitro gastrointestinal digestion, dialysis and freeze-drying. Changes in gas production, organic acid levels, ammonia N concentration and bacterial population abundance were studied using an in vitro batch fermentation model, with feces inocula from healthy infants.

Concerns regarding the health implications of microplastics (MPs) pollution and their byproducts, such as bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalate esters (PAEs), have escalated, particularly for vulnerable populations like infants. Since infants are primarily nourished by breast milk or infant formula, their heightened exposure risk to these contaminants warrants investigation. This study assessed the presence, morphological characteristics, and associated byproducts (BPA and PAEs) of MPs in commercially available infant formulas sold in the Iranian market.

Objectives: Breast-fed (BF) have lower risk of infections during infancy compared to those formula-fed (FF). A higher content of alpha-lactalbumin (α-lac) in breast milk, which may promote a more favorable gut microbiota, could be one reason. In this study, we evaluated whether increased concentration of α-lac in low-protein infant formula affects the immune response and the incidence of infections during infancy.
