Iron-fortified Infant Formulas That Do Not Require Medical Statements 
(as of 03/23/2007)

 

We recommend that the school, center, or day care home offer the type of formula that the infant’s health care provider has suggested to the infant’s parent (or guardian). If the school or child care facility offers a different type of formula, the infant’s parent may decline the offered formula, and supply another type.

FNS provides this list as a guide of products that do not require medical statements when offered to infants in the child nutrition programs. Although this list is not meant to be all-inclusive, it does include most of the brands of iron-fortified infant formula that are currently available to consumers. It does not represent our endorsement of these companies or their products.

We update this list as we become aware of newer information.  Be sure to check with your State agency if you are not sure whether a type of infant formula requires a medical statement to be served in the infant meal pattern.
