Is Gerber Formula GMO Free?

Is Gerber Formula GMO Free?

Unfortunately, most baby formula nowadays has GMOs in it. GMO formula has quietly entered the marketplace and many parents buy it for their baby without realizing that they are doing so. Enfamil organic and Gerber use GMOs. 

Non GMO baby formula will help moms and dads who want a safer food for their baby. While breastfeeding is always best, mothers sometimes supplement with formula because they are not producing enough milk. Parents may also choose to feed their baby with formula for other reasons. For example, women with HIV and those on chemotherapy medication are not advised to breastfeed.

 GMO soy may be used in some soy based baby formula brands. Parents also have to look out for GMO corn and other genetically modified ingredients. Sometimes genetically modified algae is used during the processing of infant formula.

Moringa can help mothers who are not producing enough milk. The leaves of the moringa plant are rich in several nutrients that breastfeeding mothers need. If you use infant formula, it is better to avoid those that are made with GMOs.
