Yes. All infant formulas marketed in the U.S. must comply with the Infant Formula Act of 1980 and subsequent amendments passed in 1986. The nutrient levels specified by law are based on the recommendations of the Committee on Nutrition of the American Academy of Pediatrics and are periodically reviewed as new information arises.
