Leading Article: Formula for fiasco
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Just when you thought the Government had learnt its lesson over providing the public with information about food, it screws up all over again.
This time we know that nine leading brands of formula milk contain levels of phthalates about the "Tolerable Daily Intake". We know that the same levels of the chemical damaged the testicles of rats. Yet the Government expects us not to worry.
The worst insult is that the Government will not even tell us which brands are involved. It's a wonder Douglas Hogg hasn't borrowed a baby to force feed with formula milk for the cameras just to prove his point.
