Are there any baby formulas where 100% of the ingredients are organic?

Based on the available information from Perplexity, there are currently no baby formulas where 100% of the ingredients are organic. While many brands offer organic baby formulas, they typically contain a small percentage of non-organic ingredients that are essential for infant nutrition.

Even premium organic baby formulas, such as Bubs Organic and Bobbie Organic, which are certified organic by recognized bodies like USDA Organic, Australian Certified Organic (ACO), or the National Association for Sustainable Agriculture Australia (NASAA), contain some non-organic ingredients.

These organic certifications generally require at least 95% organic ingredients, allowing for up to 5% non-organic components. The non-organic ingredients are usually vitamins, minerals, and specific nutrients that are either not available in organic form or are required to meet infant nutritional standards.

For example:

  1. Bubs Organic formula includes non-organic ingredients such as emulsifiers, DHA from algae, and ARA.

  2. Bobbie Organic formula contains non-organic components like Schizochytrium sp. oil, Mortierella alpina oil, and various minerals and vitamins.
