Scores reflect our editorial ingredient criteria only and are not a safety assessment. All formulas listed meet regulatory standards in their country of sale. No formula on this page is unsafe — this table helps parents understand ingredient differences, not make medical decisions.
If you've found this page because a formula you've been using is suddenly unavailable or recalled, you are not alone. A single contaminated ARA oil supplier triggered formula recalls across more than 60 countries through early 2026, with ByHeart recalling every tin it had ever made. The formulas we recommend on this page use EU-certified ingredient sourcing and were unaffected by the contamination. Full breakdown of which brands are safe, which were recalled, and what the contamination actually was in our coverage of the 2026 formula shortage.
