美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）周四宣布，它正在提出一项新的规则，将更新婴儿配方奶粉的营养要求。
监督FDA的卫生与公众服务部（HHS）在一份新闻稿中表示，这将是近30年来对婴儿配方奶粉标准的首次重大更新。
该机构表示，提议的规则将更新对维生素A、维生素D、碘和锰的要求，并重申对氯化物、钾、硒和钠的现有要求。
它还将改变两种营养素的计量单位，并要求公众对目前没有的成分提出可能的要求他们指出，这是婴儿配方奶粉中必需的，但有时由制造商添加。
目前不需要的成分包括花生四烯酸（ARA）、二十二碳六烯酸（DHA）和L-肉碱。一些研究表明它们对婴儿成长、大脑发育和健康有很大的贡献。
该机构表示，将有更多的阶段来研究剩余的必需营养素、潜在的新营养素需求和碳水化合物来源。
美国食品和药物管理局表示，它将欢迎公众在其阶段的意见，并在未来，将发布一项最终规则，以涵盖所有拟议的变化。
FDA还发布了婴儿配方奶粉化学污染物测试的新数据，并发现大多数测试样品的“化学污染物水平低或检测不到。”
“父母应该对他们喂养婴儿的每一个奶瓶都充满信心，”HHS国务卿小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪在一份声明中说，部分。“我们将要求婴儿配方奶粉制造商遵守严格的科学标准，把婴儿的健康放在第一位。＂
去年，HHS和FDA宣布他们将审查美国婴儿配方奶粉的营养质量
FDA表示，作为其“鹳速行动”倡议的一部分，该审查将研究当前的营养要求是否需要更新，包括是否需要考虑额外的营养。
根据现行法律，HHS部长每四年适当审查一次必需营养素表。
FDA目前规定了婴儿配方奶粉中必须包含的30种营养素。根据该机构的说法，所有30种营养素都有最低含量，10种营养素有最高含量。
目前所需的营养素包括蛋白质和脂肪，以及维生素A、D、E、K、叶酸、铁、镁和锌。
去年，当时的FDA专员Marty Makary博士讨论了从婴儿配方奶粉中去除种子油的问题。许多商业婴儿配方奶粉含有种子或植物油，因为它们提供必需脂肪酸。
“一般来说，他们被认为是促炎的，”Makary说种子油的说法“福克斯”的采访＆朋友”2025年6月。“我们不想要患有全身炎症的婴儿。我国40%的儿童患有慢性病。其中许多都与炎症和胰岛素抵抗有关。”
医生有之前告诉ABC新闻种子油不是促炎性的，可以帮助降低血糖水平，改善胰岛素敏感性，降低坏（低密度脂蛋白）胆固醇，降低甘油三酯，增加阳性（高密度脂蛋白）胆固醇水平。
FDA proposes rule updating nutrient requirements for infant formula
The Food and Drug Administration （FDA） announced on Thursday it is proposing a new rule that will update the nutrient requirements for infant formula．
The Department of Health and Human Services （HHS）， which oversees the FDA， said in a press release that it would be the first major update to infant formula standards in nearly 30 years．
The proposed rule would update requirements for vitamin A， vitamin D， iodine and manganese as well as reaffirm existing requirements for chloride， potassium， selenium and sodium， the agencies said．
It would also change the units of measure for two nutrients and request public input on possible requirements for ingredients not currentlyrequired in infant formula but sometimes added by manufacturers， they noted．
The ingredients not currently required include arachidonic acid （ARA）， docosahexaenoic acid （DHA）， and L-carnitine．Some studieshave suggested they contribute greatly to infant growth， brain development and health．
The agency said there will be additional phases looking at the remaining required nutrients， potential new nutrient requirements and carbohydrate sources．
The FDA said it will welcome public comment during its phases and， in the future， will issue one final rule to cover all the proposed changes．
The FDA also released new data on chemical contaminant testing for infant formula and found that most samples tested had ＂low or non-detectable levels of chemical contaminants．＂
＂Parents deserve confidence in every bottle they feed their baby，＂HHS Secretary Robert F． Kennedy， Jr． said in a statement， in part． ＂We will hold infant formula manufacturers to rigorous scientific standards and put babies＇ health first．＂
Last year， the HHS and FDA announced they would review the nutrition quality of infant formula in the U．S．
The FDA said the review -- part of its ＂Operation Stork Speed＂ initiative -- would look at whether current nutrient requirements need to be updated， including whether additional nutrients need to be considered．
Under current law， the HHS secretary reviews the table of required nutrients every four years as appropriate．
The FDA currently specifies 30 nutrients that must be included in infant formulas． There are minimum amounts for all 30 nutrients and maximum amounts for 10 nutrients， according to the agency．
Among the nutrients currently required are protein and fat， as well as vitamins A， D， E， K， folic acid， iron， magnesium and zinc．
Last year， then-FDA commissioner Dr． Marty Makary discussed removing seed oils from infant formulas． Many commercial baby formulas contain seed or vegetable oils due to the essential fatty acids they provide．
＂Generally， they＇re believed to be pro-inflammatory，＂ Makarysaid of seed oils during aninterview on ＂Fox＆Friends＂in June 2025． ＂We don＇t want babies with general body inflammation． Forty percent of our nation＇s kids have a chronic condition． Many of those are tied to inflammation and insulin resistance．＂
Doctors havepreviously told ABC Newsthat seed oils are not pro-inflammatory and can help lower glucose levels， improve insulin sensitivity， reduce bad （LDL） cholesterol， reduce triglycerides and increase levels of positive （HDL） cholesterol．
