This will raise the price of formula up, which in turn will increase more benefits to the families who need it.
BINGO! More WIC money! Was there some big salmonella outbreak from formula that created this “need”?
Doubtful. Most formula manufacturers already do this sort of testing. So, it shouldn't drive the price up, but it also won't have any effect on formula safety. Just your typical "we need to look like we're doing SOMETHING" government nonsense...
