AI Summary

Requires infant formula makers to quickly notify the Secretary of Health and Human Services (FDA) when finished-product testing confirms certain harmful microorganisms, to cooperate on isolating or stopping distribution of affected batches, and to provide test data and investigation records for inspection. Directs the Secretary to complete a confirmation review within 90 days and adds recurring reporting, supply‑chain updates to specific congressional committees, and stakeholder-engaged assessments at 1, 3, and 5 years to improve infant formula safety and supply resilience.
