"The law does not require that FDA approve infant formulas but instead
requires companies to provide certain information to FDA before they
market new infant formulas. Manufacturers must provide assurances that
they are following good manufacturing practices and quality control
procedures and that the formula will allow infants to thrive. If such
assurances are not provided, FDA will object to the manufacturer's
marketing of the formula; however, the manufacturer may market the new
infant formula over FDA's objection." http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/qa-
inf22.html

This can't be true! I am in shock, this is truly is unconscionable. Am I
reading this correctly, that regardless of the FDA's opinion, infant
formula will still make it to the shelves, accompanied with blatantly
misleading advertising?? Please tell me I am confused.
