Macronutrient content per 100 ml of prepared formula. Values from each manufacturer label, verified on the SKU record.
DHA content per 100 ml of prepared formula. EU Regulation 2016/127 mandates DHA in Stage 1; US does not. Zero values typically reflect older reformulations; most contemporary US infant formulas include DHA at roughly 11–14 mg/100 ml.

How to read this comparison
The macronutrient chart reflects per-100-ml values from each manufacturer label. EU Stage 1 formulas follow Regulation 2016/127 (narrower nutrient windows and mandatory DHA); US formulas follow FDA 21 CFR 107. A lactose-primary carbohydrate profile is typical for EU Stage 1 and the lactose-preserving US brands (Bobbie, Baby's Only, Kendamil sold in US, Earth's Best Dairy).
Red-flag markers indicate presence on the ingredient label. They are not safety judgments — palm oil, for instance, is permitted under both FDA and EU rules. The question parents commonly care about is compositional similarity to breast milk and minimization of added sweeteners; those preferences map to the no-palm-oil and lactose-primary filters.
This comparison is research, not medical advice. Consult your pediatrician before changing your baby's formula.
