Infant formulas with live probiotics

Probiotic-containing infant formulas add live bacterial strains. Common strains: Bifidobacterium lactis (Bb-12, BB-12), Lactobacillus reuteri DSM, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. Clinical evidence is strain-specific; a "with probiotics" claim alone tells you less than the strain name plus CFU count.

What this list includes, and what it leaves out

Included
Formulas recorded as containing a live probiotic strain.
Left out
Prebiotic-only formulas. A prebiotic feeds bacteria already present; a probiotic adds live ones, and the evidence attaches to the specific strain rather than to the word.
Price per ounce across the 14 formulas on this list, cheapest first.

Typical US retail price, normalised to USD per ounce of powder. Imported European formulas carry shipping and importer margin; US retail brands are typically cheapest per ounce. Subscribe-and-save and private-label pricing can shift the ranking. One ready-to-feed product is left out: liquid is priced per fluid ounce, which is not comparable to a price per ounce of powder.
