• Characteristics:
  Fat
  - Fat provides 47% of total calories in Phenyl-Free 1. The fat content is similar to the fat content of human milk and consists of a four-oil vegetable blend of palm olein oil (44%), soy oil (19.5%), coconut oil (19.5%) and high oleic sunflower oil (14.5%), along with ARA and DHA from single cell oils (2.5%).
  Protein
  - Protein equivalents provide 13% of calories in Phenyl-Free 1. The product provides the essential amino acids (except phenylalanine) as well as nonessential amino acids (see Amino Acids table); 53% of the amino acids are essential amino acids. Tyrosine level is 1.6 g ¾ 100 g powder. Since the product contains no phenylalanine, care must be taken to provide enough phenylalanine from breast milk, infant formula or other foods to support growth.
  Carbohydrate
  - Carbohydrate provides 40% of total calories in Phenyl-Free 1. The carbohydrate blend is corn syrup solids, modified corn starch and sucrose (table sugar). The sucrose in the product helps neutralize the taste of the amino acids. Phenyl-Free 1 is lactose-free.
  Vitamins and Minerals
  - Vitamin and mineral levels in Phenyl-Free 1 meet U.S. Food and Drug Administration requirements per 100 Calories for vitamins and minerals as mandated by the U.S. Infant Formula Act and the associated Code of Federal Regulations 21 C.F.R. part 107.1004. Amounts of B vitamins have been increased above levels in routine infant formulas for cofactor production. An increased level of choline, an essential nutrient important for brain development and the normal functioning of cells1-2, is provided. Calcium, iron, zinc, manganese, and copper levels are higher in order to help meet the needs for these minerals when low-protein solid foods are introduced.
