Allergies or intolerance to cow's milk protein and lactose
Our Milupa cereals in Canada are all milk-based cereals. They contain adapted milk which is based on skim milk powder with fortified vitamins and minerals. Therefore all these milk cereals will contain cow’s milk protein and lactose.
If a child has a cow’s milk protein allergy, then they need to exclude all traces of cow’s milk protein and therefore a milk cereal is not appropriate. In these cases only a plain cereal (which is milk free) should be used.
If a child has lactose intolerance, then they are advised to limit the amount of lactose in their diet. The extent of the lactose restriction will depend on the severity of the intolerance and doctor’s advice. In most cases, individuals with lactose intolerance can still manage small amounts of lactose if spread across the day (<10g/day). In these situations, then 1-2 bowls of Milupa milk based cereal may still be appropriate (2.5g lactose/portion). If the child needs to restrict all sources of lactose, then a milk cereal is not appropriate. In these cases only a plain cereal (which is milk free) should be used.
From what countries do Milupa baby cereals ingredients come from ?
Ingredients used in the Milupa Baby Cereals come from different countries around the world. We go to great effort to find quality ingredients.
Where are Milupa baby cereals made ?
