Characterization of an extensively hydrolyzed whey infant formula with a low bitterness

Background Numerous extensively hydrolyzed cow’s milk protein based infant formulas are commercially available for the dietary management of symptomatic cow’s milk protein allergic infants. The production process of extensively hydrolyzed formulas has been improved in the last decade to meet even stricter characteristics in term of peptide size and allergenicity. However, the extent of the hydr...

A Randomized Controlled Trial Assessing Growth of Infants Fed a 100% Whey Extensively Hydrolyzed Formula Compared With a Casein-Based Extensively Hydrolyzed Formula

This study compared the growth of healthy infants fed a hypoallergenic 100% whey-based extensively hydrolyzed formula (EHF) with Bifidobacterium lactis (test) with that of infants fed an extensively hydrolyzed casein formula (control). Formula-fed infants (14 ± 3 days) were randomized to test or control groups until 112 days of age. Anthropometrics were assessed at 14, 28, 56, 84, and 112 days,...

Evaluation of an Amino Acid−Based Formula in Infants Not Responding to Extensively Hydrolyzed Protein Formula

Nearly 2% to 3% of infants and children younger than 3 years have confirmed cow's milk protein allergy with multiple clinical presentations including atopic dermatitis (AD), diarrhea, and vomiting/spitting up. Although most infants with cow's milk protein allergy experience clinical improvement with the use of an extensively hydrolyzed (EH) formula, highly sensitive infants may require an amino...

QUALIFIED HEALTH CLAIM PETITION 100% WHEY PROTEIN PARTIALLY HYDROLYZED in Infant Formula and REDUCING

FDA's health claim review: whey-protein partially hydrolyzed infant formula and atopic dermatitis.

In this review, we explain how the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) used its evidence-based review system to evaluate the scientific evidence for a qualified health claim for 100% whey-protein partially hydrolyzed infant formula (W-PHF) and reduced risk of atopic dermatitis (AD). The labeling of health claims, including qualified health claims, on conventional foods and dietary supplements...
