Nestle NAN EXCELLAPRO Stage 1 Infant Formula is formulated to meet the nutritional needs of infants up to 6 months, adhering to regulatory standards for breast milk substitutes. It provides essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and beneficial human milk oligosaccharides and probiotics. While generally well-formulated for its intended purpose, parents of infants with soy or milk allergies should be aware of the presence of milk solids, demineralised whey, and soya lecithin.

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 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.
This is a statutory warning or advisory statement, not a product claim that can be verified by ingredients or nutrition information.
FSSAI (reg. 3(5)) requires DHA added to formula at no less than 0.2% of total fatty acids. This panel gives no DHA figure we can compare with the fat, so the claim cannot be checked.

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.
