title: Infant food problems and analytical aspects of providing safe and wholesome infant foods.
abstract: The technology of milk and infant food production, storage, and handling has advanced to the point that infant foods have had an excellent record of being free of recognized health hazards. The Infant Formula Council has published methods specifically for these foods. Methods are included from Standard Methods for the Examination of Dairy Products, Official Methods of Analysis, Bacteriological Analytical Manual, the Manual of Clinical Microbiology, and the U.S. Pharmacopeia. Criteria for microbiological quality have been issued by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, the International Commission for Microbiological Specifications for Foods, and the Public Health Service. Surveys in the United States and Canada have shown that sanitary standards are met with ease.
