FAQs
1) Organic formula – what makes it organic?
Organic Cows spend as much time as possible grazing on meadows where they can move around freely and eat lots of clover-rich grass. All organic cows must be fed on a 100% organic diet.
The organic cows are fed on as natural a diet as possible and not pushed to give more milk than they naturally produce. On some non-organic farms, cows will be bred to produce high volumes of milk which can badly affect their health and life expectancy, and they may not have any access to pasture or grass-based food at all.
2) What is the difference between Naturally occurring sugars vs added sugars?
Naturally occurring sugars are found in milk (lactose) and fruit (fructose). Any product that contains milk (such as yogurt, milk or cream) or fruit (fresh, dried) contains some natural sugars.
Added sugars can be found as ingredients in processed foods or drinks during preparation.
The naturally occurring sugar of cow’s milk is lactose. This is also the case for formulae based on cow’s milk. However, some cow’s milk based formulae use added sugars as caloric sweeteners or to completely replace lactose. Some examples of added sugars in milk formulae based on cow’s milk are sucrose, maltodextrin, fructose, corn syrup solids, and glucose syrup. View more references.
3) What do the Health Experts say?
The Health Experts say “Avoid added sugars for children below 2 years”
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) advise that children younger than the age of two should avoid added sugars in their diet as too much added sugar puts children at risk for obesity, tooth decay, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease, among other health problems.¹
Cow’s milk has the natural milk sugar lactose which is packed with multiple health benefits and the energy needed for the child’s growth and development. ²
At HiPP, we put children in the center of attention by carefully selecting ingredients that are closest to nature. Inspired by nature, HiPP Junior Organic uses only the natural milk sugar Lactose, without the use of added sugars. Give your child HiPP Junior Organic. Help support your child’s health and development with organic and naturally-sourced ingredients.

4) How to develop a child’s preference for healthy food for life?
An intake of added sugars in early life creates a preference for sweet foods throughout life.
Food preferences in children first start in the womb with the diet of their mother, and after birth with their early childhood diet.¹ Early exposure to sweetened food, or food with added sugars during processing or preparation, can lead to an increased preference for sweet foods throughout life.²⁻⁴
What parents can do to develop their children’s preference for healthy foods.
It is important to have a balanced diet during pregnancy as a child’s sense of taste and smell develops before birth.⁵ Research has shown that pregnant mothers’ food choices mould their unborn child’s food preferences. This is referred to as “programming”.⁶
While a child is able to perceive flavours while still in the womb, their sense of taste continues to evolve throughout childhood. A varied diet low in processed foods and added sugars is important in shaping a child’s healthy food preferences and will have a lasting impact on their life.
