Is it true that Meijer is selling Meijer brand infant formula? How does it compare with Isomil?
The Meijer brand iron-fortified soy product is produced by Wyeth laboratories and is very similar to Nursoy. The USDA has approved the Meijer brand formula for use in the WIC program and Michigan is deciding whether it will add it to the approved special formula list (Michigan has a contract formula and encourages use of the contract formula with most enrolled infants.)
