Toxic chemical leaching into canned formula (liquid formula, not powdered)

Toxic Plastics Chemical in Infant Formula | Environmental Working Group

Quote:
August 8 2007. Laboratory tests of canned infant formula conducted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and a certified commercial laboratory reveal that a plastics chemical called bisphenol A (BPA) leaches from metal can linings into formula. According to a new EWG analyses, the amount of BPA ingested by some bottle-fed infants exceeds the doses that caused serious adverse effects in animal studies.


The powdered formulation is less expensive, anyway.

Everything is a tradeoff. The fat in the powdered formulation is different than that used in the liquid, and some babies have a problem digesting it. It's also good to keep in mind that the powder is not a sterile product at any point, unlike the liquid which is supposed to be sterile until the can is opened.
