Reviews the modifications made to cow’s milk using skim milk, demineralized whey protein, non‐milk fats and non‐milk sugars and describes current formulas developed for babies with special needs. Gives a brief review of the recent UK guidelines on the nutritional assessment of infant formulas and outlines future trends.
