Evidence

Rep. Mast announced that he introduced the FORMULA Act and described it as setting enforceable contaminant limits for infant formula, with testing, records, and public reporting requirements.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This is concrete legislative effort by Mast, but it shows introduction of a bill, not enacted limits. A lookback search for Aug. 11-13, 2026 found no newer official action showing enactment, passage, or implementation.

FDA reported contaminant testing for infant formula and said it is conducting further testing and working to establish action levels for contaminants in infant formula.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The current FDA posture remains monitoring, follow-up testing, manufacturer engagement, and work toward action levels. That supports unresolved status because clear enforceable contaminant limits have not yet been shown as delivered through the FORMULA Act.

Mast introduced H.R. 9788, the FORMULA Act, in July 2026 to direct HHS/FDA to establish maximum permissible contaminant levels for infant formula, with testing and reporting requirements. That is a concrete same-term legislative effort and directly matches the promise, but the bill appears to remain only introduced/referred to committee, with no evidence that it has passed Congress, become law, or resulted in enforceable FDA contaminant limits. Because Mast is still in federal office and the 119th Congress is ongoing, the promise is not yet failed, but it has not been delivered.
