The United States administrative law endorsed a nutrient composition standard promoting human nutrition. The neonatal nutritive composition was incipiently affirmed by the American Academy of Pediatrics in 1967.[2][3] The infant formula standard proposal orchestrated regulatory provisions for adequate nutrient levels as suitable for toddler nutrition.
The H.R. 6940 bill was passed by the 96th U.S. Congressional session and signed into law by U.S. President Jimmy Carter on September 26, 1980.[4][5][6]
