Nestle Lactogen Pro 2 is a follow-up formula designed for infants, providing essential nutrients in a regulated blend. While it contains a standard blend of vegetable oils and milk solids appropriate for infant nutrition, the presence of maltodextrin as a carbohydrate source, though common in formulas, is a point of consideration for some parents. The formula is generally suitable for healthy infants in the specified age range, but parents of infants with soy or milk allergies should be aware of these ingredients.

Claim check
Front-of-pack marketing claims checked against this product's actual ingredients and nutrition. "Can't verify" means the label does not provide enough information to check the claim — it is not the same as the claim being false.
This describes the product’s packaging or its category, not a testable attribute of the food itself — so it’s classified separately rather than flagged as a doubtful claim.
This is the maker’s regulatory age/stage designation for the product — an ingredient list can’t confirm or deny it, so it’s classified separately rather than flagged as a doubtful claim.
The ingredient list includes Probiotic (Limosilactobacillus reuteri (DSM 17938^^)).
The ingredient list includes Probiotic (Limosilactobacillus reuteri (DSM 17938^^)). The term 'Follow-Up Formula' is a regulatory designation that cannot be checked from the ingredient list.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

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.
