Evidence

FDA analysis under Operation Stork Speed found very low or undetectable levels of heavy metals and other contaminants in more than 300 infant formula samples; the report also notes the U.S. still lacks enforceable heavy-metal limits in formula.

This is the closest recent federal action on the policy area. It shows the contamination-testing issue is being addressed administratively, but it does not show passage of the INFANTS Act or any direct congressional victory for Emilia Strong Sykes.

Assessments

The record provided shows FDA administrative testing activity on infant formula, but it does not show that the INFANTS Act passed or that Emilia Strong Sykes materially advanced its enactment. With no direct evidence of congressional passage or of Sykes's role in securing it, the promise cannot be verified as fulfilled.
