Brand recognized with First 1,000 Day Promise
Certification, Pesticide Free and Purity Awards
BOSTON, June 27,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Kabrita, the leading global
goat milk formula manufacturer, today announced that the Clean
Label Project (CLP), the national non-profit that recognizes brands
that place an emphasized focus on purity and surpass the minimum
regulations required by FDA, has awarded Kabrita Goat Milk-Based
Infant Formula with its highest level of purity achievements
including three certifications: First 1,000 Day Promise
Certification, Pesticide Free and Purity Awards. This marks Kabrita
as the first and only goat milk-based infant formula to achieve
these honors, and it joins the ranks of Kabrita's Goat Milk Toddler
Formula which also received the same awards.
Earlier this year, Kabrita introduced the first and only goat
milk-based infant formula in the United
States to meet all FDA requirements. This milestone came
after completing years of clinical testing to prove that Kabrita's
infant formula is safe and that it provides complete nutrition for
a baby's growth in the first year. Goat milk proteins are more
similar to breast milk proteins than cow milk proteins, making it
easier to digest. It also contains 5x more naturally occurring
oligosaccharides than cow's milk, the third largest component of
breast milk.
"As a European–made company with 75 years of infant formula
experience, Kabrita has always met – and in many cases exceeded –
the strictest European standards for babies," said Elieke Kearns,
PhD, RD, director of medical and scientific affairs, Kabrita
USA. "The Clean Label Project
certifications are an important third-party reassurance to the
strict safety standards that go into our high-quality products. Our
goal has always been to produce the safest goat milk-based infant
formula on the market."
In order to secure CLP certifications, Kabrita Goat Milk-Based
Infant Formula underwent significant safety testing. Each
certification and award ensures that Kabrita has met standards
based on CLP's industry benchmarks:
- First 1,000 Days Promise Certification: A
comprehensive review of a company's food safety programs and
independent testing to ensure compliance with key elements of
European baby food regulations, including heavy metals and
plasticizers.
- Purity Award: Requires independent testing for
heavy metals, pesticides, and plasticizers, and benchmarking the
test results against other similar products in the same category.
It is reserved for products in the top 1/3 of the category.
- Pesticide Free Award: Aims to satisfy consumers'
desire to reduce exposure to commonly used pesticides in foods.
Products undergo independent testing to verify they meet CLP's
standards.
"Goat milk-based infant formula is a welcome addition to the
U.S. market and we're thrilled parents can feed their babies with
confidence knowing that Kabrita's infant formula is of the highest
quality and standards," said Jackie
Bowen, founder of Clean Label Project. "Babies deserve the
very best and The Clean Label Project's strict certifications
provide an important reassurance."

owned farms in the Netherlands,
and undergoes a highly rigorous process with over ninety quality
checks. With over 75 years of formula experience, Kabrita is the #1
