The less milk is processed, the more the essential nutrients and elements can continue working together. This means less synthetic additives are needed to meet the required nutritional standard for infant formulas.  Many other formulas are made using skimmed milk which doesn’t have the necessary fats to meet the regulatory amount of fat required. Using full cream milk avoids adding more vegetable oils to bump up the fat content. Using full cream milk also typically means there is naturally occuring Milk Fat Globule Membrane (MFGM) which has been confirmed as a really important component of the milk fat found naturally in breast milk.
