HiPP Hypoallergenic Formula Stage 2

HiPP HA Formula is a hypoallergenic infant formula designed for babies with cow’s milk protein sensitivity or a higher risk of developing allergies. It features hydrolyzed whey protein, meaning the milk proteins are broken down into smaller fragments, making them easier to digest and less likely to trigger allergic reactions.

This formula supports gut health and immunity with prebiotics (GOS) and probiotics (Lactobacillus fermentum), which help balance the intestinal microbiota and strengthen the immune system. HiPP HA also contains essential nutrients, including DHA, vitamins, and minerals, ensuring optimal development while being gentle on sensitive stomachs.

All HiPP HA formulas are hydrolyzed and subjected to ultrafiltration to prevent and reduce the risk of allergies triggered by milk protein. They are designed specifically for babies with CMPA.

The main variation is that HiPP German HA Stage 1 contains starch, whereas HiPP HA Dutch Stage 1 and 2 and HiPP German HA PRE and Stage 2 do not contain starch.

HiPP International is a pioneer in organic farming and infant nutrition, recognized as the largest processor of organic-biological raw materials worldwide.

The company’s origins date back to the late 19th century, when Joseph Hipp, a baker, created a rusk-based flour to help his wife nourish their twins. His nutritious innovation gained popularity, leading to the production of infant food that remained in the German market until the 1970s.

Joseph’s son, Georg Hipp, expanded the family business into infant nutrition, launching baby food products in the 1950s. HiPP transitioned from tins to hygienically safer jars in 1959/60, rapidly expanding its product range to include juices, junior meals, and whole-grain fruit blends.

HiPP embraced organic farming early on, inspired by the Swiss pioneer Dr. Hans Müller. The company set the standard for chemical-free agriculture, cultivating fruits and vegetables on natural soils. Claus Hipp, a key figure in HiPP’s growth, traveled extensively to promote organic farming, building a vast network of over 8,000 organic farms that supply HiPP with ingredients today.

There are two main reasons for EU and Australian manufactured formula being healthier and safer for your baby.

1. Higher standards for formula ingredients

 EU and Australia regularly update and constantly enforce formula ingredient regulation compliance to ensure the latest food tech standards for infant health and safety are met. The FDA has not reviewed and updated baby formula ingredient requirements since 1998. 

Many common ingredients found in US formulas are banned in Australia and the EU, such as GMO’s, corn syrup, rice/glucose syrup, fructose, or table sugars.

 Due to the high prevalence of heavy metal contamination of soil and water across the US, most US produced baby formula is found to have potentially harmful levels of contaminants, including heavy metals like lead and arsenic

2.      Higher and stricter qualification criteria to meet the organic certification standards

The farming standards required for organic certification are higher in the EU and Australia.

The organic standards in the EU and Australia guarantee that the formula is free of hormones, GMOs, added sugars, artificial preservatives, antibiotics and pesticides.

HiPP and Holle meet even higher standards, such as Demeter and Biodynamic standards respectively.
