Ive noticed that prepared Enfamil powder formula is lighter in color than the ready-to-feed and concentrated liquids. Why?
Once mixed, the powdered Enfamil formulas are white in color and thinner in consistency, while the liquid formulas are slightly darker (beige or off-white) and thicker. This difference is a result of the way liquids and powders are manufactured. The cause is heat. Specifically, how it’s applied to the liquids during manufacturing as part of the sterilization process. For premature infants or infants with immune problems, ready-to-use infant formulas should be used over powdered ones because ready-to-use varieties can be made commercially sterile. All forms of our formulas offer the same nutrition for your baby.
