Why Parents Choose HiPP Dutch Over Other Formulas
The Dutch version of HiPP is particularly popular among parents worldwide because it uses no starch and no maltodextrin — two common fillers found in many formulas that can cause unnecessary digestive stress in infants. The carbohydrate source is pure lactose, making it exceptionally easy to digest and the closest non-breastmilk option available. Every tin is produced under the EU's rigorous organic certification standards — no synthetic pesticides, no GMOs, no hormones. HiPP also goes beyond organic certification with its own even stricter internal quality controls, testing for over 1,200 potential contaminants before any product reaches store shelves.
