announced by the FDA final guidance For infant formula manufacturers and laboratories performing testing on infant formula.
These guidelines were developed to help manufacturers and laboratories design, conduct, evaluate, and report protein efficiency ratio (PER) studies. Protein is an essential nutrient that helps infants grow and develop. In announcing the guidance, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stated that PER studies are used to ensure protein quality in infant formula, which is often the only source of nutrition for infants.
The guidance document does not have legal force, but is a suggestion for the industry. It typically takes several years for a guidance document to be proposed and approved.
