Nationally advertised baby formula brands cost you more dollars but make little sense.
Every brand of baby formula is required to meet the same infant nutrition standards established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It's the law. A lot of new mothers don't know that. What they do know is nationally advertised baby formula brands like Enfamil® and Similac® can be very expensive.*
So who are we? We're Perrigo Nutritionals, the largest supplier of store brand infant formulas in the country. We make the baby formula you find in the most respected stores across the United States. And we've been making these high quality infant nutrition products for more than 20 years.
We do NOT produce infant formula overseas. Not in China, and not in India. We only produce store brand infant formulas in FDA-inspected facilities in Vermont and Ohio, U.S.A. Our dairy ingredients are sourced from leading dairy markets, including the United States, Canada, and New Zealand.
It's a formula. The FDA sets the recipe. And we don't veer from it. Ever.

Featured Video: Introduction to Baby Formula Marketing
You haven't seen our ads on TV, and you haven't received free samples from your hospital or doctor... That's because we'd rather skip the hefty marketing budgets and pass on some savings to you.
Leading brands spend hundreds of millions on marketing, which is why their formula costs twice as much as store brand formula. They meet the same FDA standards that we do and produce nutritionally comparable infant formula just like us.
It's called formula for a reason™. Talk to your doctor about store brand formula.

Instructions for Preparing Infant Formula
Directions for Safe Preparation and Use: Your baby's health depends on carefully following these preparation, use and storage instructions. Failure to follow these instructions could result in severe harm. Ask your baby's doctor about the need to boil or sterilize water for formula and the proper preparation of bottle and feeding utensils.
- Wash hands, bottle, and feeding utensils in hot soapy water prior to preparing formula.
- Pour desired amount of warm water (approx. 100 degrees F/40 degrees C) into clean bottle.
- Add powder to water. Return dry scoop to slot located in the upper left corner of tub above the powder.
- Cap bottle and shake well until powder is dissolved. Feed immediately. Discard any remaining formula in bottle after one hour from start of feeding.

Jeannette Gonzalez Simon, MD,
Pediatric Gastroenterologist and Mother of Two
Hi, I am Dr. Jeannette Gonzalez Simon. As a doctor in the pediatric field, I spend a lot of time with parents. Whether they have one or five children, there are always plenty of questions on their minds. And as a mom of two girls, I know firsthand how overwhelming new parenthood can be.
Experts recommend breastfeeding and infant formula as the only safe feeding alternative. I assure you pediatricians recommend store brand formula.
All infant formula brands are more similar to breastmilk than ever before. And did you know store brand formula, which costs up to 50 percent less than leading advertised brands,** is clinically proven to be just as well tolerated by babies?***
