- In March 2025, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., serving as Health Secretary, instructed the FDA to undertake a thorough evaluation of the ingredients in U.S. Infant formula, an initiative called "Operation Stork Speed."
- This review responds to longstanding calls from scientists and public concerns about formula composition, prompted partly by a 2022 Abbott factory shutdown causing shortages.

- The review aims to modernize formula standards last updated in 1998 and fits within Kennedy's "Make America Healthy Again" agenda to ensure safe, nourishing food for infants.
