Have you spotted a caramelized or scorched particle when preparing a feed? No need to worry, they are totally harmless. Here’s a quick guide to help you understand what they are and what to do if you come across one in your baby’s formula.

What Are Caramelized Particles?

Caramelized particles are small specks that can appear in powdered formula. These particles form during the drying process when liquid formula is transformed into powder and may occasionally become overheated, resulting in these tiny specks. Rest assured, while they do occur from time to time, they are a natural byproduct of heat exposure and can range in color from black, brown, and tan to yellow and orange.

Why Do Caramelized Particles Occur? 

During the drying process in formula production, particles can occasionally overheat, creating tiny specks. Although we continually strive to minimize the occurrence of these particles, they do happen from time-to-time and are completely safe. What’s more, these high temperatures that can lead to caramelized particles help ensure our product’s overall safety.

Is It Safe for My Baby to Consume?

If you've noticed a caramelized particle in your baby's formula, rest assured it is not harmful. These particles are a natural occurrence and, while they might look concerning at first, they do not compromise the quality or safety of the formula.

Our formula is meticulously crafted and held to the highest testing standards to ensure optimal nutrition for your baby. The presence of these particles does not affect the nutritional value or safety of the feed.

Your baby's health and well-being are our utmost priority, and we are committed to providing the safest and most nutritious formula available.

What Should I Do if I Find Caramelized Particles?

If you identify caramelized particles in your formula, please consider following these steps:

  1. Inspect the Formula: Check the powder visually before adding water to confirm it is a caramelized particle.
  2. If still concerned contact Kendamil Customer Service: If you remain concerned about the particles, please contact Kendamil’s Customer Service for further guidance and reassurance.

We’re Here to Help

Finding caramelized particles in your baby’s formula can be unsettling, but knowing what they are and how to handle the situation can ease your worries. They are not harmful and don't affect the formula's quality. By following the outlined steps above, you can confidently ensure that your baby's feeding routine remains safe and healthy.
