If you’ve decided to start bottle-feeding your baby you’ll no doubt be thinking about which follow-on formula to choose. With so much choice and so many different brands available it can sometimes be confusing to know which baby formula to choose and the differences between each brand. Katie Hilton, Kendamil Feeding Expert, tells us about the unique difference she has identified within the Kendamil range of products.
Best of British
Kendamil is a British baby milk brand, with our brand named for Kendal, the lake district town that our factory headquarters call home. Our milks are manufactured using fresh cow’s milk from local, Red-Tractor Accredited dairy farms in the UK. Our commitment to manufacturing in Great Britain, home to some of the world’s highest food safety standards, ensures both complete traceability of our ingredients and supports the growth of our local community.
Kendamil is also the only formulation on the market that continues to use natural whole milk. When Kendamil was first conceived by Kendal Nutricare’s product development team, the company’s food scientists studied changes which had occurred in baby milk over previous decades. One common theme that arose was the move towards increased processed oils in skimmed milk formulas, a worrying trend driven by large food conglomerates seeking to reduce their costs (palm oil is cheaper than whole milk). This worrying shift away from whole milk fats towards industrially-produced oils is one the team at Kendamil sought to put right. Kendamil’s commitment to natural mammal’s milk fats, no matter the cost, reflects our company mission to offer parents and babies the highest quality ingredients at an everyday low price.
When Kendamil was first launched, the company was overwhelmed by the response from parents. It is through word of mouth that our formula became such a popular alternative for parents wanting a whole milk based follow-on formula, with high quality ingredients and a naturally creamy taste.
Sustainability Is At The Heart Of Our Decisions
The company’s commitment to the world your children will inherit is real. Kendamil proudly developed a baby formula without palm oil, making it better for babies and the environment. Environmentally, palm oil has been a leading cause of deforestation, threatening wildlife populations and indigenous tribes around the world. There ought to be no place in follow-on formula for palm oil and our Kendamil team is incredibly proud to pioneer this effort in our industry.
Nevertheless, our team didn't stop there. With formula ranges that are EU and British Soil Association Certified Organic, Kendamil will continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in terms of sustainability, traceability and ethical production practices. All Kendamil products are also vegetarian friendly. This is achieved by using plant-based sources for Omega 3 & 6, rather than fish oils, a natural allergen and threat to our world’s fish stocks.
We know that no brand can ever create a formula which will match the tailored natural nutrition provided by a mother’s breastmilk, but here at Kendamil, we are committed to offering parents and families the next best thing, for their baby and the world they will inherit.
