Assessment of Nutrient Requirements for Infant Formulas In response to the FDA requirement for an updated listing of nutrient specifications for commercially available infant formulas, LSRO has generated the most up-to-date comprehensive report on infant nutrition available to the public. Utilizing the deliberations of a panel of internationally recognized experts in infant nutrition, LSRO has reviewed the scientific basis for specifications for 37 nutrients to be included in formulas intended for full-term healthy infants. This compendium offers for the first time an exhaustively documented review of this subject that is not only responsive to the regulatory demands of current food law but also an informative tool for anyone interested in learning the current knowledge about infant nutrition. An Executive Summary of this report is available at http://jn.nutrition.org/content/128/11/suppl/DC1.
