Acidification of infant formula feeds

  • A A Forder

Abstract

The article by Joosten and Lardeau in this issue of SAJCN (p. 87) looks at the microbiological safety of acidified infant formula feeds as tested in vitro. The authors rightly point to diarrhoea as being one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among infants in developing countries, especially those under the age of 5 years.
