Did you know that a large portion of infant formula contains palm oil? Controversy is huge on this topic. So why is this oil used? And above all, why choose infant formula that doesn’t contain it?
If palm oil is found in many products, it’s because of its low cost and thick texture at room temperature. The palmitic acid that makes it up is a fatty acid also found in breast milk. This is why it is often used in infant formula to allow you to get as close as possible to the benefits of breast milk. However, the palmitic acid in palm oil is not the same as in breast milk.
Baby milk without palm oil
At Baby Baby FRANCE LABOR, we have decided to ban the use of palm oil in our products. We want to offer you infant formula made in France, 100% organic and rich in DHA (omega 3) – the essential fatty acid that contributes to your baby’s brain development.
Although palmitic acid present in breast milk and hence its inclusion in infant formula approximates its composition, its structure in palm oil is not the same. As a result, its addition to infant formula can cause digestive upset in babies, such as constipation.
In addition to the harmful aspect of palm oil for children, the cultivation of palm trees leads to ecological disaster and serious deforestation. More and more of these trees are planted instead of primary forests, then burned, while increasing CO2 emissions.
