Kabrita, a global producer of goat milk formula, has officially unveiled the first and only long-term FDA-authorized goat milk-based infant formula in the United States.
This milestone follows comprehensive clinical testing, affirming the safety and complete nutritional value of Kabrita’s infant formula for a baby’s growth in the first year. The long-term FDA authorization ensures consistent product availability, assuring parents of the long-lasting presence of the infant formula in the US market.
Late in 2023, the American Academy of Pediatrics formally approved goat milk infant formula as suitable nutrition for infants, whether breastfed or non-breastfed, requiring formula supplementation in their first year of life.
The unique benefits of goat milk proteins, closely mirroring those found in breast milk as opposed to cow milk proteins, enhance digestion. Moreover, goat milk is rich in natural oligosaccharides, constituting the third-largest component of breast milk.
Ari Brown, paediatrician and chief medical advisor for Kabrita USA, said, “As a paediatrician, I highly recommend Kabrita’s Goat Milk-Based Infant Formula as a safe and nourishing option for babies during the first year of life. Goat milk infant formula has been beloved by parents around the world, and finally, parents in the US can feed their babies with a trusted product, based on the highest quality Dutch goat milk that is legally imported to the US.”
Elieke Kearns, director of medical and scientific affairs at Kabrita USA, added, “Bringing Kabrita’s Goat Milk-Based Infant Formula to the U.S. was not a rushed decision. While goat milk infant formula was made available during the 2022 U.S. formula shortage via the FDA’s enforcement discretion, Kabrita chose to wait to make our product available until it received long-term FDA authorisation. We believe our product is the safest goat milk-based infant formula on the market, backed by years of clinical trials, peer-reviewed research and extensive FDA clearances.”
Advantages of Kabrita’s Infant Formula:
Kabrita’s infant formula provides various advantages, such as natural oligosaccharides for promoting healthy digestion and immunity, essential vitamins and minerals for optimal growth, a high-quality fat blend closely resembling the fat profile of breast milk, and DHA and ARA to support vision and brain development. Importantly, the formula is devoid of corn syrup, GMOs, glyphosate, and maltodextrin.
The company acquires its goat milk from over 100 family-owned farms in the Netherlands, subjecting it to a meticulous process involving more than ninety quality checks. With a legacy of over 75 years in formula expertise, Kabrita proudly holds the position as the leading global goat milk formula, providing nourishment to 1.5 million babies on a daily basis.
