Kosher Products

Kosher means the food or product has been prepared according to the requirements of Jewish Law.

Some of our products are manufactured under the supervision of the Kashruth Division of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America.

O.U. on a product signifies it is kosher and is authorized by the Orthodox Union.

Our kosher-certified products will have a "U" within a circle on the product label.

Halal Enfamil Products

Halal food means food permitted under Islamic Law. It encompasses the food source, how animals are slaughtered, and the preparation, processing, packaging, transportation, and storage of foods. The foremost unlawful foods under Islamic Law are pork products and alcoholic beverages and ingredients derived from these items.

The organization that certifies our products halal is the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America or IFANCA®

Alcohol:

We do not add alcohol to any of our infant formulas, toddler drinks or medical foods.

Synthetic alcohol is used during the drying process of the nucleotides in our infant formulas; however, the amount of alcohol remaining in the nucleotides is very small (200 ppm [parts per million] or less).

Nucleotides:

The nucleotides we use in our formulas are certified Halal by Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America and Kosher by the Orthodox Union.

The nucleotide ingredients may be certified halal, but our products are not halal-certified at this time, with the exception of PURAMINO A+ and PURAMINO A+ junior.

Pork:

The casein protein in our Nutramigen A+, Nutramigen A+ with LGG and Pregestimil A+ are hydrolyzed or broken down by an enzyme process using pork pancreatic enzyme. Very little of the enzyme remains in the final product formulation; in fact, pork contributes an insignificant percentage of the prepared formula.

Please note that the labels may not indicate the latest status of the products as they are in process.
