Now that we know what HiPP uses, let’s see what they don’t use in their products.
There is a debate whether gluten is beneficial or harmful for both infants and adults. Regardless, many infants suffer from gluten intolerance and cannot digest it properly. No need to fear, as HiPP formulas are all 100% gluten-free. This can be helpful for mothers tired of searching for the best gluten-free and allergy-friendly formula.
Added sugars are pure poison when it comes to infant formula. Many cheap brands add massive amounts of sugar to provide a fake fullness to trick infant’s digestive tracks. This is uncalled for and HiPP never adds sugar into their formulas. Each formula contains naturally occurring sugars that provide the rich, creamy taste babies savor with the ingredient’s mothers love.
- No Maltodextrin (in most versions)
Maltodextrin is like sugar and should be avoided at all costs. This harmful filler can preset diabetes, heart disease, and other health complications in the future. To prevent these horrible diseases, stick to naturally occurring sugars found in milk.
- NO SOY (in most versions)
Soy is a huge NO-NO for infants and toddlers. Recent studies have linked soy products to damage babies in the long run.
Soy is a cheap, processed ingredient that typically contains GMOs and chemicals. Producers partially hydrogenate it to preserve it longer; this manipulates the chemical structure and turns into trans fats. Trans fats should be avoided at all costs—this ESPECIALLY applies to babies and toddlers.
GMOs are toxic for all babies and people. What are GMOs?
GMO stands for Genetically Modified—produce and animal products with GMOS contain unnatural chemicals that have been linked to diseases. Chemicals are embedded into these ingredients to make them grow faster, bigger, and quicker. AVOID THESE HARMFUL INGREDIENTS by choosing organic.
- NO wheat or peanut ingredients.
For infants with a multitude of allergies, HiPP can provide the needed nourishment. With no wheat, soy, or peanuts, this formula makes the perfect organic allergy-friendly companion to any baby’s diet.
- No synthetic preservatives/nutrients
Absolutely zero synthetic preservatives are found in HiPP products. To prevent the horrific amount of diseases linked to these unnatural fillers, HiPP opts out of them completely. HiPP uses naturally occurring, non-GMO ingredients to produce their signature taste.

Hi Krystle! Thanks for the comment! So the constipation really depends on which type of HiPP formula that you are using, as there are so many varieties. If you are using the “combiotik” versions, the added prebiotics/probiotics can help with constipation issues. As the UK version (800g) only has the prebiotics, perhaps the added probiotic found in the Dutch version (900g) or the German version (600g) might help with the new constipation concern. The biggest difference between the Dutch and German versions is that the German version has the starch added to it. For moms that do not want the added starch, Dutch is your best choice. But many moms like the added starch as their babies feel more full on the formula. It’s really a matter of preference for mom/baby at that point.
One last thought, having baby drink water while eating the food can also help. Sometimes babies get dehydrated when solids are introduced – which can lead to constipation. Give your daughter a sippy cup and see what she does!
Hope this helped! Let us know if you have other questions!
