Someone mentioned in a previous post that she received (among other things) a can of EXPIRED formula. It was my understanding that this is NOT appropriate and that the FDA would have a cow (that seems appropriate!) if they knew a hospital was the source of such material. IF I am incorrect in my understanding of the rules and regs behind formula expiration dates, please correct me. My point, however, is that whomever received such a can needs to alert the powers that be to this (such as FDA?, JCAHO?) What do the rest of the wise women on LACTNET think about this? mailto:[log in to unmask] "We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations."
