Why is formula produced in the EU and Australia of higher quality than US formula?
There are two main reasons for EU and Australian-manufactured formulas are healthier and safer for your baby.
-
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

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.
