The European Commission adopted new regulations in September 2016 based on an updated opinion of the European Food Safety Authority on infant feeding and the composition of infant and follow-on formulas. This legislation, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/127, will come into force in 2020 and United Kingdom legislation will be adapted closer to that time.
