We appreciate the letter by Kaneko et  al from the Office of Food Additive Safety at the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition of the Food and Drug Administration in response to our commentary about infant formula safety. They comment on our point that the long-term safety of bioactive ingredients that have recently been added t o infant formula is unknown. They note that long-term developmental consequences may exist from the addition of these ingredients; it is also unknown whether any long-term effects could be additive.
