Dear Lactnet Friends:

More examples of corporate practices trumping health of our precious babies:

1)         <
http://www.life360.com/blog/its-legal-to-sell-expired-baby-formula/>

"As of January 1, in California and* California ONLY*, *it became illegal
to sell expired baby food and infant formula*. I know what you’re thinking.
“But wait, isn’t there a federal law banning selling expired baby food and
formula?” Well, as it turns out there’s not. I can guess what you’re
thinking again, “But, clearly most states must have laws banning that kind
of thing, right?” And again, the answer is no. California became the first
just this month."

2)     <http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=151870>

*WASHINGTON, DC: * The Cornucopia Institute, an organic industry research
and watchdog organization, announced it has formally requested the USDA’s
Office of Inspector General (OIG) to investigate corruption at its National
Organic Program resulting in the use of  illegal synthetics in organic food
and then allowing powerful corporations to "game the system" for approval
"after the fact".
