Infant Feeding Formula

Infant feeding formula is a type of specialized dietary food and food specialty preparation that falls under the supply class of Special Dietary Foods And Food Specialty Preparations in the supply group Subsistence.

Infant feeding formula is specifically designed to provide essential nutrients and meet the nutritional needs of infants who are not breastfed or require supplementation. It is formulated to mimic the composition of breast milk and contains a balanced combination of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals necessary for the healthy growth and development of infants.

Infant feeding formula comes in various forms, including powdered, liquid concentrate, and ready-to-feed. It is typically made from cow's milk or soy protein and is available in different formulations to cater to specific dietary needs, such as lactose-free or hypoallergenic formulas for infants with allergies or intolerances.

Infant feeding formula is an important resource for caregivers and healthcare professionals to ensure that infants receive adequate nutrition when breastfeeding is not possible or insufficient. It is regulated and must meet specific safety and quality standards to ensure its suitability for infant consumption.

Please note that it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or pediatrician for guidance on the appropriate type and usage of infant feeding formula for individual infants.
