Following reports during 1979 that over 100 infants had been made seriously ill because of the lack of chlorides in two soy-based infant formulas, Congress passed the Infant Formula Act of 1980. This new law authorized the Food and Drug Administration to adjust nutritional standards for infant foods to conform with the best available scientific knowledge. Manufacturers are required to test their products periodically and report promptly to the Food and Drug Administration when they do not meet the official specifications.
