Halal Baby Formulas in United States of America:

New Next Step Lipil Enfamil 08-14-2008
A.R. Lipil Enfamil 08-14-2008
Gentlease Enfamil 08-14-2008
Isomil Advance Soy formula Similac 08-14-2008
Go & Grow Milk Based Formula Similac 08-14-2008
Pro Sabee Lipil Soy Infant Formula Enfamil 08-14-2008

In Canada the following baby formulas are Halal because they are free of nucleotides:

Advance Infant Formula Similac
Go & Grow Infant Formula Similac
Infant Formula with Iron Enfamil
Isomil Enfamil
A Plus + Infant Formula Enfamil
Enfa Pro Infant Formula Enfamil
Follow Up Transition Infant Formula Nestle

Above formulas are made without nucleotide are kosher certified by Orthodox Union of New York city with OUD kosher symbol. Many mothers in USA do not want to feed their children those baby formulas in which ingredients are grown on alcohol.

  1. This list is at least partially incorrect for Canada. I checked out the Enfamil with Iron formula and it does in fact contain nucleotides. The website Canadian Halal Foods lists the following two products as halal:

    Enfamil Gentlease Infant Formula
    Enfamil Gentlease A Infant Formula

    I did not correspond with Enfamil. I checked out the actual product and found that Nucleotides were listed as an ingredient. The Canadian Halal Foods website cited as the source of this list has more current information now. You can try a keyword search for "Enfamil" and "Similac", the two commonly found brands in North America. I believe there is one more product (other than the two I listed in my previous comment) that they classify as halal. I have yet to check out the actual products that they list as halal. I'll post an update once I get the chance to do that.

  4. In Canada there is a new company called Halal Yums. They sell halal chicken flavor baby food in a dry form that's instant mix. Their website is www.halalyums.com.

    Here is the latest information about Halal baby infant formula in Toronto area supermarkets:

    Halal Infant Formulas in Canada(Researched done on March 28, 2011)

    Follow Up Transition Infant Formula Nestle

    Advance Infant Formula with Omega 3-6 Isomil

    Soy Based Infant Formula Isomil

    A + Infant Formula Enfapro

    Gentlease Infant Formula A + Enfamil

    Soy A + Infant Formula Enfamil

    Soy Infant Formual President Choice Soy Infant Formula 0-12 months President Choice

    The Halal infnat formulas for USA are in our www.muslimconsunergroup.com

    You must consider infnat formulas updated between 2010 & 2011 and others are not Halal because of added Nucleotide. Canadian Halal foods website is under construction and Inshallah it will be ready by mid july 2011.
