Why is unopened powdered baby formula considered not sterile, while its liquid counterpart is? And why can’t the powdered version be treated and sterilized prior to distribution?

It probably could, but heat sterilization (like used with the liquid) probably hurts the powdery texture. Something like gamma-ray sterilization would likely work, but “We zapped this baby food with lethal levels of radiation before we sent it to you, for your health” seems like it’s going to make some moms uneasy.
