Reviewed 3 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
Dexolac Stage 2 Infant Formula is formulated to meet the nutritional needs of infants aged 6 months and above, aligning with regulatory standards for follow-up formula. The inclusion of a regulated blend of edible vegetable oils provides essential fatty acids, and the product is fortified with vitamins and minerals crucial for infant development. While the generic listing of "Emulsifier," "Acidity Regulator," "Antioxidant," and "Minerals" without specific INS codes or chemical names reduces transparency, these are common functional ingredients in infant formulas. Parents of infants with milk allergies should avoid this product due to the presence of milk solids.

Follow-up infant formula with essential nutrients, but generic additive listings
This follow-up infant formula provides essential nutrients for babies aged 6 months and older, including a regulated blend of fats, vitamins, and minerals. However, some functional ingredients like emulsifiers and antioxidants are listed generically, which reduces transparency for consumers. It contains milk solids, so it is not suitable for infants with milk allergies.

Watch out for

Contains milk solids, making it unsuitable for infants with milk allergies
Decode Label Analysis
The generic listing of "Minerals," "Emulsifier," "Vitamins," "Acidity Regulator," and "Antioxidant" reduces transparency. While these are common and regulated ingredients in infant formula, specific identification (e.g., by INS code or chemical name) would provide more complete information to consumers.

Nutrient colours use adult dietary reference values, which don't apply to infant formula — so the regulation-mandated breast-milk composition (sugar/lactose and fat) is shown neutral here rather than flagged as a concern. Sodium and trans fat keep their normal colour banding. The "added sugars" line on a formula panel normally counts lactose, so read it with that in mind.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.
Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
