4 months.
I checked the website. Where does it say 4 months?
Page 15
Haley or Paula or whoever,
Please ditch the umpteen exclamation marks. That makes for a very annoying post -- before it's even read.
Thanks.

Look at table B. It says after 4 months. However, I checked a number of other websites, and they center on 6-8 months.

This one says start at nine months.
I think I would go with six months. Guessing. There seems to be no consensus on this. Do you have a text?
As the mom of 4 kids and being told by numerous doctors and researching myself the correct answer is 9 months if breastfeeding and 6 months if bottle feeding. More solid explination can be found at the american academy of pediatrics website (aap dot org)
huh?
The correct age at which infants should not be given semi-solid food supplements of meat or meat alternatives is 4 months. This information can be found on page 15 of the document you provided, which is the minutes of a meeting of the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) in the UK.
However, it is worth noting that there is some variability in guidelines issued by different organizations. While the SACN recommends starting at 4 months, other sources such as the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) suggest starting at 6 months for both breastfed and formula-fed infants.
Ultimately, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional or pediatrician for guidance specific to your baby's individual needs and development.
