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.
