Lactose-free infant formulas

Six infant formulas sold in the US remove lactose. Every one of them replaces it with corn syrup solids or glucose syrup, because a formula needs a carbohydrate. True infant lactose intolerance is extremely rare, so this is a smaller category than the shelf space suggests.

What this list includes, and what it leaves out

Included
Formulas whose product type is lactose-free in our records: the lactose has been removed rather than reduced.
Left out
Reduced-lactose "sensitive" and "gentle" formulas that keep some lactose are not here, and neither are the partially hydrolysed comfort formulas, which change the protein rather than the carbohydrate.
Price per ounce across the 6 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.
