With our closest infant formula ever to breast milk, Enfamil A+ Premium nourishes and supports the amazing development of baby's precious first year. Our formula has brain-building and immune supporting nutrients so baby can thrive during this time of wonder.

Enfamil A+ Premium is the ONLY formula with both an expert recommended level of DHA and our exclusive BIOPRO™ blend including 2’-FL for immune support.

BIOPRO™ is the trademark name of the combination of 2’-FL, Polydextrose (PDX) and Galactooligosaccharide (GOS).

2’-FL is the most abundant HMO (Human Milk Oligosaccharide) in breast milk. HMOs in breast milk have been reported to play a variety of roles. One main role is to support the growth of beneficial bacteria. HMOs have been shown to support immune health.

2’-FL is a prebiotic ingredient. Learn more

Enfamil A+ Premium meets the requirements of the Canadian Food and Drug Regulations for infant formula. It is not expected that 2’-FL will cause an allergic reaction. Check with your child's doctor for any symptoms your child may have while consuming Enfamil A+ Premium. Learn more

Polydextrose and Galactooligosaccharide (GOS) are dietary fibres that are added in infant formula to promote soft stools and may promote good bacteria in the gut. Learn more

Enfamil A+ Premium will be launched in hospital and retail on Spring 2023. Learn more

All Enfamil A+ stage 1 products will be launched under the Enfamil A+ Premium brand in April 2023. This includes Enfamil A+ Stage 1 663g powder tub, 992g refill pouch, 59ml Nursette and 237ml RTF bottles, as well as the Costco twin pack at a later date. Learn more

This was a Mead Johnson business decision. We continually strive to produce high quality infant and children’s products that deliver an important value to our consumers. Learn more

We would not expect your child to have an allergic reaction to the BIOPRO™ blend. When the formula is prepared according to the label instructions, we would expect an infant to accept and tolerate all formats equally.

Enfamil A+ Premium can be purchased at your local retailer, Amazon, and online at enfamil.ca

Online retailers are able to have product available to the public faster as they do not need to ship products to their stores nationwide and physically re-arrange the shelf space to accommodate new products.

We continually strive to produce the highest quality infant and children’s products that deliver essential nutritional and health benefits at the best possible value.

Yes, the Enfamil A+ Premium formulas will cost more due to the research behind our products, and the quality of our ingredients.

We will not be phasing out Enfamil A+ at this time.

Yes, you can still purchase Enfamil A+ at your local retailer, Amazon.ca, and enfamil.ca.

There are minor formulation changes being implemented to better align select nutrient levels with human milk levels and achieve manufacturing efficiencies to support continuity of supply. Your baby will continue to receive the appropriate nutrition they require, and these amounts are very minor and do not represent any significant nutritional changes...

Enfamil A+ Premium powder and ready to feed formats has 17mg of ARA and 11.5mg of DHA per 100mL at normal dilution, whereas Enfamil A+ powder, ready to feed, and nursette formats have 23mg of ARA and 11.5 of DHA per 100mL at normal dilution.

To better align with the global average of human milk level of ARA.

There will be a 1:1 replacement of DHASCO with DHASCO-B. DHASCO®-B is a source of DHA obtained from the marine algae Schizochytrium sp.

Both the formulas help with the overall development of your baby. We do not recommend alternating formulas back and forth due to the adjustment period that most babies go through when the formula is changed.

We appreciate your interest in Enfamil A+ Stage 2 infant formulas from Mead Johnson Nutrition. As a recognized leader in infant nutrition, Mead Johnson is constantly striving to offer high quality products to our customers. Product introductions will be a business decision based on consumer response and ingredient supply.

Infant formula is intended for the first 9-12 months of life. It can provide the sole source of nutrition for the first 6 months. Most infants begin some solid foods around 6 months of age, and infant formula continues to provide a major source of nutrition.

It is possible that some of the ingredients in our products are derived from genetically engineered sources. However, we do not believe that these ingredients are different from the same ingredients derived from a non-genetically engineered source.

1 scoop of Enfamil A+ Stage 1 powder is 17.2mL or 8.8 g.
The scoop number is: 1243532 / 1150299

MFGM (Milk Fat Globule Membrane) is found in every drop of breast milk. Specifically, MFGM is a naturally occurring membrane that surrounds the fat droplets in breast milk. Research has shown that MFGM plays an important role in brain structure and function.

We are urgently responding to an increase in demand for our Stage 1 powder products due to product shortages across Canada.

We are urgently responding to an increase in demand for many of our brands because of a previous recall by another infant formula manufacturer, product shortages, and global supply chain challenges.

We have been working diligently to address issues and help consumers as best we can. The factories which supply Canada are running 24/7.

We are working diligently to improve the situation as soon as possible.

Enfamil NeuroPro™ is the US equivalent to Enfamil A+® Premium, they both are routine starter, milk-based infant formulas with brain-building and immune supporting nutrients so baby can thrive.

HuMO6* blend for immune support includes 2’-FL HMO (Human Milk Oligosaccharide)^‡...

Yes, both formulas include 2’FL, Polydextrose (PDX) and Galactooligosaccharide (GOS), as well as Vitamin C & E and Selenium, however, the US label calls out Vitamin C & E, and Selenium as part HuMO6* blend...

The primary difference between the 2 products is the use of the terms BIOPRO (blend of 2FL, PDX, GOS) in Enfamil A+ Premium and HuMo6 (blend of 2FL PDX, GOS, Vit C, E and selenium) in Enfamil NeuroPro.

This product is currently commercialized in the US and temporarily allowed by Health Canada to mitigate shortages.

In response to product shortages in Canada, Health Canada is recommending that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) temporarily exercise discretionary enforcement to allow the importation of certain products into Canada.

You can find it at your local retailer at Loblaw, Walmart, and Shopper’s Drug Mart.

As of Spring 2023 we will only have the powder (2pack) refill box available in Canada.

You will be able to find product information but will not be able to order Enfamil NeuroPro™.

Enfamil NeuroPro, Enfamil A+ and Enfamil A+ Premium are all starter routine formulas.
