Executive Summary
INFANT FORMULA EXPIRATION DATING: FDA ENCOURAGES BETTER COMMUNICATION of "use by" dates on formula packaging to retailers and consumers in a recent letter to the Atlanta-based Infant Formula Council. Elizabeth Yetley, PAD, acting director of FDA's Office of Special Nutritionals, said the agency "believes that it would be useful for manufacturers to review their current marketing programs to determine if they can be improved, to better communicate to retailers and consumers the purpose and proper use of the "use by" date that appears on infant formula products."
