Fat blend composition

Palm oil supplies palmitic acid (~25% of breast-milk fatty acids). Whole-milk fat preserves natural sn-2 palmitate and MFGM; sn-2 palmitate (structured palm) addresses the position issue; standard palm + supplementary oils is the conventional EU-organic approach. See the palm oil explainer for the hierarchy.

  • Palm oil presentNo
  • Soy oil or lecithinYes

Red flags (per label)

  • Corn syrup solidsNo
  • MaltodextrinNo
  • CarrageenanNo
  • Synthetic beta-caroteneNo
  • GMO-derivedNo

Differentiators

  • Ready-to-feed (RTF) liquid format — sterile, no reconstitution
  • Extensively hydrolyzed casein with FDA Hypoallergenic classification
  • No palm oil in fat blend (distinctive in eHF category)
  • RTF format reduces Cronobacter preparation risk
  • Reduced during 2022 Abbott Sturgis recall impact (RTF manufactured separately from powder at Abbott)
  • Ready-to-feed Alimentum with no palm oil — unique combination for CMPA families wanting eHF + palm-free composition + RTF convenience
