Standard and Specialized Infant Formulas in Europe: Making, Marketing, and Health Outcomes

Abstract: Infant formulas are the only suitable substitute for human milk. The most common infant formulas are standard formulas based on cow's milk. In addition, there are formulas for infants showing signs and symptoms of intolerance and for clinical conditions such as allergy, prematurity, and gastrointestinal diseases. A comprehensive review of the literature was made to review the composition of standard and specialized infant formulas and analyze indications for use, real or presumed nutrition differences and prop… Show more

Complementary and supplementary feeding of infants is a costly venture [24]. Empowering adolescents by way of education is very important to prepare them towards making healthier choices after delivery.…”

“…Partially hydrolyzed milk formulas (phMF) usually contain whey protein derived-peptides smaller than 5 kDa, they are not considered to be completely hypoallergenic but are more easily digested than whole milk proteins. In contrast, hypoallergenic products are either extensively hydrolyzed milk formulas (ehMF), composed of small peptides <1.5 kDa, or amino acid formulas, consisting of essential and nonessential amino acids, the latter are recommended for infants who do not tolerate ehMF, but are significantly more expensive [83,84]. Milk protein hydrolysates have not only been shown to avoid allergic symptoms in cow’s milk allergic children due to the destruction of IgE epitopes but might also have immunomodulating properties like the induction of T cell tolerance and the prevention of sensitization [85].…”
