These levels are values derived on the basis of meeting nutritional requirements of infants and an established history of apparent safe use. The Guidance Upper Levels should not be exceeded unless higher nutrient levels cannot be avoided due to high or variable contents in constituents of follow-on formulas or due to technological reasons.
            (3) The ratio of calcium to phosphorus in infant formula and follow-on formula must be no less than 1 to 1 and no more than 2 to 1.

The amounts specified in Column 4 are Guidance Upper Levels and are recommended upper levels for nutrients which pose no significant risks on the basis of current scientific knowledge. These levels are values derived on the basis of meeting nutritional requirements of infants and an established history of apparent safe use. These Guidance Upper Levels should not be exceeded unless higher nutrient levels cannot be avoided due to high or variable contents in constituents of follow-on formulas or due to technological reasons.
