Reviewed 10 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
Nestle NAN PRO Stage 2 Follow-Up Formula is a well-regulated infant formula designed to meet the nutritional needs of healthy infants from 6 months onwards. Its composition, including the blend of vegetable oils and milk solids, aligns with FSSAI and Codex Alimentarius standards for breast-milk substitutes, providing essential fatty acids and nutrients. The formula is generally suitable for its intended audience, with the primary caution being for infants with known allergies to milk or soy, as these are primary ingredients.

Decode Label Analysis
The ingredient list includes generic terms like "Emulsifier" and "Acidity regulators" without specific identification, which reduces transparency for a baby product where full disclosure is paramount.
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.
The ingredients list Arachidonic acid (ARA) from Mortierella alpina oil and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from Schizochytrium sp. oil.
The nutrition information shows Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D.
The nutrition information shows Calcium, Zinc, and Iron.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

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.
