FAQ

Currently, Kabrita Goat Milk Toddler Formula is available in the United States. In the US, the FDA has a number of important requirements that must be completed before a company may market their formula as an infant product. Although our toddler formula meets the FDA nutrient requirements for infant formula, we do not recommend it as the only source of nutrition for either infants or toddlers. We are working on bringing Kabrita goat milk infant formula to the US market. We don’t have a confirmed date but if you sign up for our Community, we’ll let you know as soon as it’s available.

The FDA’s Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) requires that a food that contains an ingredient or protein from a “major food allergen ” be declared on the label.

We add the statement “Allergen information: Milk” on Kabrita goat milk formula for a few reasons:

First, the lactose in Kabrita Goat Milk Formula comes from cow milk (molecularly identical to other lactose sources) and may contain trace amounts of cow milk protein.

Second, we produce our products in a facility that also produces cow milk formula.

And third, Kabrita products are not suitable for children with cow milk protein allergy.

Kabrita formula is not currently USDA organic. Non-GMO Kabrita goat milk formula is produced in Europe where strict regulations already limit the use of antibiotics, hormones and pesticides, and govern animal welfare.

We have initiated the transition project and are working with our supplier to make this a reality as soon as possible. Once this project is completed we will update our website to reflect the change. Kabrita is dedicated to transparency about our products and our commitment to continuous improvement. All our ingredients are carefully considered for their nutritional value and source and are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

While it is used in the initial extraction process, the solvent evaporates in the subsequent refining process, which is safe and environmentally friendly. The FDA imposes a residue limit of less than 0.3 parts per million and upon testing no detectable residue of hexane remains in the finished DHA oil ingredient. You are welcome to visit our blog on DHA and ARA for more information.
