Kendamil UK Organic Cow Formula Stage 1 is an organic infant formula for babies from birth to 6 months. You can use it as the sole source of nutrition or to supplement breastfeeding.
 

What makes this bottle special is what Kendamil refuses to remove. While most formulas start with skimmed milk and add vegetable oils back in, Kendamil starts with organic whole milk from grass-fed cows, preserving the natural milk fat. That fat includes MFGM: a natural component of milk fat, also found in breast milk, that supports your baby's brain development. That is why the prepared bottle looks golden and creamy rather than thin and white, and why the recipe needs no palm oil at all. Lactose is the only carbohydrate. DHA for brain and eyesight comes from plant-based algae oil rather than fish oil, and there is no corn syrup, no soy, and no GMOs.
 

This creamy formula is made in the Lake District, England, for the UK market and comes in an 800 g (28.2 oz) can. Everything on the can is in plain English, from the preparation steps to the feeding chart and ingredients, so nothing needs translating.
 

This formula has a 5-star rating from many parents in our store. "The quality is the best. You can't find a better formula than this one."

What Makes This Formula Special
 

The whole-milk philosophy changes everything downstream. Because the natural milk fat stays in, the feed's fat profile stays closer to breast milk; MFGM comes along naturally instead of being processed and added back, and the blend of added oils can stay short, with no palm oil. Parents often tell us the difference is something you can see and smell: a creamy, golden bottle with a mild, fresh taste, quite unlike the US formulas many families switch from.
 

The carbohydrate side is just as clean. Lactose, the same sugar as in breast milk, is the only carbohydrate, and Kendamil keeps it that way at every stage, with no starch and no maltodextrin anywhere in the range. From that organic milk come GOS prebiotic fibers for the tummy and the naturally occurring HMO 3'-GL, a special milk sugar found in breast milk, while nucleotides round out the recipe.
 

Kendamil is also a story US parents tend to fall for. It has been a family business since 1962 and is the only baby milk company that makes its formula in Britain, working with local organic family farms around the Lake District, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The recipe has won the Queen's Award and feeds millions of babies worldwide.
 

Two things are worth knowing before you choose. First, Kendamil UK is not the same product as the Kendamil sold in US stores. The UK version is made in the UK for the UK market under strict EU and UK formula rules. It follows the staged system of 1, 2, and 3, with premium ingredients adjusted at each stage as your baby's needs change, from the whey-rich protein balance of the early months to more iron when solids begin. The US version is a different recipe built around FDA rules, typically one infant formula followed by a toddler drink, without that stage-by-stage tailoring. Second, the sister option: Kendamil UK Classic Stage 1 is not a lesser formula but a different recipe path, the original award-winning whole-milk recipe without the organic seal. It is usually the more accessible choice if organic certification is not a must for your family. At 6 months, Kendamil UK Organic Stage 2 continues the whole-milk idea as part of a mixed diet.
 

Safety, Quality and Animal Welfare
 

Kendamil partners with organic family farms in and around the Lake District, where the cows graze on grass and are raised under UK and EU organic animal-welfare rules. With over 60 years of expertise in infant nutrition, every batch is made, tested, and packed at Kendamil's own facility in Kendal, England, a supply chain so short the company can name the farms behind the milk.
 

EU baby formula follows strict European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) rules, including required DHA, staged iron by age, and no corn syrup solids. Those rules are a higher bar than FDA formula standards and apply to all EU and UK formulas we carry. Read more in our EU vs US formula guide.
 

Why Parents Trust Kendamil UK Organic Stage 1
 

Many of our Kendamil families arrive after trying several formulas, and they write about the relief. "After trying several formulas, the baby has been on Kendamil and is doing amazing with it. Minimal spit-up and growing up fast," one parent shared. Another kept it short: "Excellent formula. The best on the market!" And one mom summed up the word of mouth: "I'm happy with the purchase. My daughter loves this formula as well." Creamy taste, content babies, and quality you can see in the bottle are the patterns we hear. Curious how it stacks up against a familiar US name? Our Kendamil vs Enfamil guide compares them side by side.

Frequently Asked Questions
 

Is Kendamil UK Organic Stage 1 suitable from birth?
Yes. It is a complete organic infant formula from birth to 6 months and can be used as the sole source of nutrition or alongside breastfeeding. At 6 months, Kendamil UK Organic Stage 2 continues the same whole-milk recipe as part of a mixed diet.
 

What makes the whole milk recipe different?
Most formulas remove the milk fat and replace it with vegetable oil blends, usually including palm oil. Kendamil keeps the natural whole-milk fat, so MFGM stays in naturally, no palm oil is needed, and the prepared bottle is noticeably creamier.
 

Is this the same Kendamil I see in US stores?
No. Kendamil UK is made in the Lake District for the UK market and follows UK and EU rules, with stages 1, 2, and 3. The Kendamil sold in US retail is a different recipe made to FDA requirements. Many parents specifically seek out the UK original.
 

What is the difference between Kendamil Organic and Kendamil Classic?
Both share the whole-milk philosophy: no palm oil, algae DHA, and lactose as the only carbohydrate. Organic includes the certified organic seal on the farming and ingredients. Classic is the original award-winning recipe and is usually the more accessible option if the organic seal is not required.
 

How long does one can last?
The 800 g (28.2 oz) can makes about 55 bottles of 100 ml (3.4 fl oz), using the included scoop of 4.3 g per 30 ml of water. Once opened, use it within 4 weeks. Our formula calculator shows exactly how many cans you need for your baby's age.

Preparation for Kendamil powdered formulas:

To open the can: snap open the tamper-proof clip and dispose of it immediately and safely, away from children. Hold the top of the can with both hands, place both thumbs under the lip, and push up to open the lid. The scoop is held inside the lid. Open the foil seal by carefully pulling back the easy-open tab, then dispose of the foil.
 

1. Wash your hands, then sterilize your feeding utensils (bottle, teat, cap) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Fill a kettle with 1 liter of freshly run tap water. Do not use repeatedly boiled water.
3. Boil the water and leave it to cool for no more than 30 minutes, so it stays at a temperature of at least 70°C.
4. Measure the required water into a sterilized bottle.
5. Using the scoop provided, add the correct number of leveled scoops to the bottle. Use the straight edge inside the lid to level each scoop. Scoop size: 4.3g. Use 1 scoop per 30ml water.
6. Place a sterilized teat and cap on the bottle and shake well to dissolve the powder.
7. Cool to natural body temperature, approximately 37°C (98°F), by running the bottle under cold running water with the lid on. Always test the temperature on the inside of your wrist before feeding.

Note: 

• Use the correct amount of leveled scoops as directed.
• Using too much or too little can make your baby ill.
• Once feeding begins, use the formula within 1 hour or discard it.
• Do not add food products such as cow's milk to your baby's milk.
• Do not re-heat in a microwave.
• When bottle feeding, do not allow prolonged contact of milk feeds with your baby's teeth, as this increases the risk of tooth decay.
• Make sure your baby's teeth are cleaned each night after the last feed. Use only the scoop provided in the pack.
