美国卫生与公众服务部表示，将对30种必需营养素进行审查，这是近三十年来首次对婴儿配方奶粉的成分和营养进行审查。
HHS said 30 required nutrients will be examined as part of the first review of infant formula’s ingredients and nutrition in nearly three decades.
特朗普政府周四公布了一项计划，拟更新婴儿配方奶粉中某些营养素的要求。
The Trump administration released a plan Thursday to update requirements for certain nutrients in infant formula.
去年，卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪宣布了一项名为“鹳鸟速度行动”的倡议，其中包括近30年来首次对婴儿配方奶粉成分和营养进行审查。这项工作是他“让美国再次健康”议程的一部分，肯尼迪及其支持者寻求打击美国食品供应中使用的人工色素和其他成分。
Last year, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced an initiative dubbed “Operation Stork Speed,” including the first review of infant formula ingredients and nutrition in nearly 30 years. The effort is part of his Make America Healthy Again agenda, as Kennedy and his supporters seek to crack down on artificial dyes and other ingredients used in the nation’s food supply.
周四宣布的审查第一阶段提出了对碘、锰、维生素A和维生素D的更新要求。美国食品药品监督管理局还在就“目前婴儿配方奶粉中不要求但制造商因其营养价值而普遍添加”的新成分征求公众意见，包括花生四烯酸（ARA）、二十二碳六烯酸（DHA）和左旋肉碱。
The first phase of the review announced Thursday proposed updated requirements for iodine, manganese, vitamin A and vitamin D. The Food and Drug Administration is also seeking public input on new ingredients “currently not required in infant formula but commonly added by manufacturers due to their nutritional value,” including arachidonic acid (ARA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and L-carnitine.
这一宣布距离下周的中期选举仅几天之遥。在中期选举中，民主党被普遍看好将夺回众议院，而参议院的控制权预计将由少数几场势均力敌的选战决定。一些有影响力的“让美国再次健康”活动人士警告说，由于对特朗普政府感到失望，“MAHA妈妈”们可能会缺席此次选举。婴儿配方奶粉相关措施很可能会吸引该运动中的支持者，周三另一项允许六种未经批准的多肽临时销售的努力同样如此。
The announcement comes just a few days ahead of next week’s midterm elections, in which Democrats are heavily favored to retake the House while Senate control is expected to be determined by just a handful of close races. Some influential MAHA activists have warned that “MAHA moms” may sit out the election due to disappointment with the Trump administration. The infant formula measures are policies that will probably appeal to those in the movement, as would a separate effort Wednesday to allow the temporary sale of six unapproved peptides.
美国卫生与公众服务部表示，美国食品药品监督管理局将审查目前婴儿配方奶粉中要求的30种营养素。审查分三个阶段进行，目标是发布一项汇总所有变更的最终规则。
The Department of Health and Human Services said the FDA will review 30 nutrients currently required in infant formula. The review is being conducted in three phases, with the goal of releasing one final rule compiling all the changes.
FDA 还作为“Operation Stork Speed”行动的一部分，发布了婴儿配方奶粉化学污染物检测的新数据，并称结果“令人放心”。该机构表示，大多数受检婴儿配方奶粉中的化学污染物含量低或未检出，这与今年早些时候发布的其他结果一致。
The FDA also released new chemical contaminant testing data on infant formula as part of “Operation Stork Speed” and called the results “reassuring.”Most infant formulas tested had low or nondetectable levels of chemical contaminants, according to the agency, consistent with other results released this year.
随着肯尼迪启动婴儿配方奶粉审查，数百人提交了公众意见，其中一些人要求对重金属和污染物进行更严格的检测。一些家长对配方奶粉中的糖分含量，或用于为婴儿提供必需脂肪酸的种子油表示担忧。
Hundreds of people had submitted public comments as Kennedy launched the baby formula review, with some demanding more robust testing for heavy metals and contaminants. Some parents have expressed concerns about the sugar content in formula or seed oils used to deliver essential fatty acids to infants.
美国婴儿营养委员会（Infant Nutrition Council of America，一个行业贸易协会）在一份声明中表示，支持 FDA 对配方奶粉标准的审查。
The Infant Nutrition Council of America, an industry trade association, said in a statement that it supports the FDA’s review of formula standards.
该委员会说：“婴儿配方奶粉受到 FDA 的严格监管，制造商必须满足适用的安全、质量和营养要求。”
“Infant formula is rigorously regulated by the FDA, and manufacturers must meet applicable safety, quality, and nutritional requirements,” the council said.
他说，大多数拟议的变更并不大，不过增加维生素 D 可能意味着一些以配方奶粉喂养的婴儿不太可能需要额外补充这种维生素。
He said most of the proposed changes aren’t dramatic, though increasing vitamin D may mean some babies who are formula-fed are less likely to need additional supplements of the vitamin.
该计划并未涉及一些一直是社交媒体影响者关注焦点的问题，例如关于种子油和糖的问题。
The plan didn’t tackle some questions that have been the focus of social media influencers, such as those around seed oils and sugars.
阿布拉姆斯说：“一些最具争议或最具挑战性的问题未包含在内。它们将会被涉及，但不在本阶段审查范围内。”
“Some of the most controversial or challenging questions aren’t covered in this. They will be, but they’re not covered in this” phase of the review, Abrams said.
他说：“婴儿配方奶粉非常、非常精细地调配以替代母乳。不正确的减少或增加等，真的会破坏这种平衡。”
“Infant formula is very, very finely tuned to replace breast milk,” he said. ”Incorrect reductions or increases and so forth can really unbalance this."
