Standard infant formula, iodine content

Iodine Content of Standard Infant Formula and Specialized Enteral Preparations... 

The aim of this chapter is to describe iodine intakes based on the calculated amounts for standard infant formulas available in the UK, and for all proprietary enteral preparations that can be used as standalone feeds for complete nutrition. The proprietary preparations highlighted in this review are those that are fisted in the British National Formulary, and the corresponding version for Children 2006 (British National Formulary for Children, 2006) mostly in the section Appendix A2 Borderline Substances excluding those which we know have been discontinued (from 2007). Enteral supplements which are not the sole source of nutrition have not been included, as potential iodine intake will be variable and dependent on the proportion of enteral supplement consumed, as well as the amount and iodine content of nonsupplemented food.
