Ingredients

Method

  1. Encourage caregivers to take these steps when selecting and using cans of infant formula: ■ Check the formula's expiration date on the label or the lid.
  2. If the expiration date has passed, then the formula has expired and should not be selected.
  3. ■ Do not select cans of infant formula that have dents, leaks, bulges, puffed ends, pinched tops or bottoms, or rust spots.
  4. These characteristics indicate that the product quality may be diminished and the product unsafe.
  5. ■ Store cans of infant formula in a cool indoor place — not in vehicles, garages, or outdoors.
  6. ■ Before opening a can of infant formula, wash the can lid with soap and water to remove bacteria, dust, insect parts, and other substances that could contaminate the formula when opened.
  7. Rinse soap off thoroughly with water so that soap does not get into the formula.
