Sorry to disagree, Chris - I saw 2 brands of soya infant formula on the
shelves with the other abm in 3 separate retailers (supermarkets and
chemists) yesterday.   It is my understanding that it can be prescribed, but
can be bought at will.

Also milk tokens can only be exchanged for named abms, and soy has never
been added to the list.  My understanding is that this reflects less on soy
than the length of time it takes to change regulations.  (Of course milk
tokens are frequently exchanged for things other than abm, but that's
another story....)

the
