Recommendations for the hygienic preparation of powdered infant formula

Note: the original source of this report is the BfR website – see Updated BfR Opinion no. 009/2022 of 29 March 2022Infant formula is subject to very stringent hygiene regulations. Infections caused by patho- genic microbes are accordingly rare. However, some microbial species can survive the man- ufacturing process for powdered formula and are then able to multiply in the prepared for- mula. Microbes can also be transferred into the formula from spoons, teats or drinking bottles during preparation.DE; en; PDF; efsa-focal-point@bfr.bund.d
