I was under the impression baby formula was designed to mimick breast milk. I am pretty sure my my breast milk has no melamine in it.

It recently suggested lifting the fish consumption warnings for children and pregnant women, despite mercury worries (and not to mention the mercury in high fructose corn syrup!). When U.S. infant formula was found to have low levels of melamine–but still above international standards for the chemical–the FDA simply said, “Meh. We’ll just raise the amount allowable.” [...] [...] Let’s see: the FDA failed consumers when it came to the peanut-Salmonella outbreak.

It is outrageous. Parents should be able to feed their babies formula without having to worry if there are harmful chemicals like melamine in it. I posted a link in my post on how to contact the FDA, and also suggest contacting your local Congress people, and attorney general. Evidently Congress & the IL state AG, were calling for a recall on ALL US formula, until the FDA said it would be a mistake. (what a shock!) Perhaps if Congress and AG's heard from parents, it would motivate them to take on the FDA.
