In 2015, researchers at the Sapienza University of Rome conducted a study to explore whether high temperatures in storage facilities might affect the quality of powdered infant formula. They monitored 30 formula samples stored at different temperatures over the course of a year to understand how heat impacts the formula.
Their research highlighted a few specific scenarios where baby formula quality might be compromised due to improper storage:
- Prolonged Exposure to Extreme Heat: If formula is stored at very high temperatures, like 55°C (131°F), for two weeks or more.
- Storage Beyond Expiration: If the formula has been stored well past its expiration date.
- Opened Packaging: If the original packaging has been opened and exposed to air.
Interestingly, the researchers found that even when powdered formula was stored at warm temperatures, such as 40°C (104°F), it still maintained good stability. This means that the formula remains safe and nutritious under most common storage conditions.
The key takeaway from this study is that it would require an extended period of extreme heat—well beyond typical environmental conditions—for the fats and oils in the formula to begin breaking down.
At Formuland, we take every precaution to ensure our products are stored in optimal conditions. Rest assured, our baby formula is never exposed to the kind of extreme heat that could affect its quality. We carefully monitor storage environments, keep our products in cooler temperatures, and ensure that all packaging remains intact. Plus, we always make sure that our formulas have at least six months remaining before their expiration date when they reach you.
Your baby’s health and safety are our top priorities, and we’re committed to providing you with the best possible products every step of the way.
