Reviewed 5 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This follow-up formula is designed to meet the nutritional needs of growing infants, providing a balanced profile of fats, proteins, and micronutrients. The inclusion of maltodextrin as a carbohydrate source, while common in formulas, means it is not solely lactose-based, which may be a consideration for some parents. The blend of vegetable oils is standard for infant formulas, formulated to mimic the fatty acid profile of breast milk. It is generally suitable for healthy infants in the specified age range, but parents of infants with soy or milk allergies should avoid it.

Declared allergens: Milk and Soy
Relevant if you have any of these allergies or intolerances.
Based on the declared ingredient list. This is a risk only to people with the allergy, not a general-population safety issue, so it does not lower the safety score.
Follow-up formula with standard fat blend; contains maltodextrin and common allergens.
This follow-up formula provides essential nutrients for infants. It uses a blend of vegetable oils designed to replicate breast milk's fat profile. While generally well-formulated, it contains maltodextrin as a carbohydrate source, which is a processed sugar, and includes common allergens like milk and soy, so it is not suitable for infants with sensitivities to these ingredients.
Concern breakdown
Score out of 10 · higher = fewer concernsHow this product performs on each concern we check for baby. This is a breakdown of the same evidence behind the score above — not a separate verdict.
Saturated fat 9.5 g · trans fat 0.1 g per 100 g/ml
1 concern could not be assessed from this label. That means we don't know — not that there's nothing to find.
Toddlers & young children (1–5)
LimitWHO does not recommend follow-up formula for children aged 12–23 months, and the American Academy of Pediatrics says most toddlers gain no benefit from toddler milk over cow's milk and a varied diet. That is a view on the whole category, not a finding about this product. The nutrition panel declares 17 g of added sugars per 100 g, but the ingredient list names no added sugar. The brand may be counting an ingredient such as maltodextrin, or the panel may be wrong, so we have not scored on that figure. WHO advises against adding free sugars to foods for children under 2.
What's good

Fat blend formulated to mimic breast milk's fatty acid profile, including essential fatty acids
Contains whey protein, which is easily digestible for infants
Watch out for
Maltodextrin is a processed carbohydrate and not a whole food source of energy.

Contains milk solids and demineralized whey, which are dairy-derived and common allergens. Not suitable for infants with cow's milk protein allergy.
Contains soybean oil and soy lecithin, which are soy-derived and common allergens. Not suitable for infants with soy allergy.
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.

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.
