"The organic milk-based powder formula is patterned after breast milk for
easy digestion and contains vitamins, minerals and healthy fats." 

Now there's a Code violation right there - this is a health claim.  
Patterned after breastmilk???  Apparently they've found a way to make
dehydrated, modified cow's milk change it's composition at every feed now
...

"Hain Celestial president and CEO Irwin Simon said: "We've been working on
an organic infant formula for a long time and are pleased to offer this
important product for newborns."

And this violates the spirit if not the letter of the code. NEWBORNS!!!!!! 
GRRRRRR
