Partly, we can blame tariffs & quotas.

The EU arguably has stricter nutritional standards for formula than the US does.
It requires baby formula to be made w/the omega-3 fatty acid DHA (which we don’t).
It bans some forms of added sugars.

So, the FDA is preventing perfectly good—perhaps better than American— baby formula from coming here bc of things like labels not explicitly stating that it contains less than 1 milligram of iron per 100 calories or not listing all ingredients (which can be found elsewhere)

Many American parents praise baby formula imported from the EU. But they have to buy it on the black market.

Anyway, it's funny that a big part of the fact-check hinges on 1 of the ingredients in the homemade formula recipe, Karo syrup, being "a debated ingredient to be administered to babies."
Karo is a type of corn syrup.
