How to read this comparison
The macronutrient chart reflects per-100-ml values from each manufacturer label. EU Stage 1 formulas follow Regulation 2016/127 (narrower nutrient windows and mandatory DHA); US formulas follow FDA 21 CFR 107. A lactose-primary carbohydrate profile is typical for EU Stage 1 and the lactose-preserving US brands (Bobbie, Baby's Only, Kendamil sold in US, Earth's Best Dairy).
Red-flag markers indicate presence on the ingredient label. They are not safety judgments, palm oil, for instance, is permitted under both FDA and EU rules. The question parents commonly care about is compositional similarity to breast milk and minimization of added sweeteners; those preferences map to the no-palm-oil and lactose-primary filters.
This comparison is research, not medical advice. Consult your pediatrician before changing your baby's formula.
