Holle Organic Baby
Formula at Formuland
Formuland has been importing and shipping European baby formula to U.S. families since 2014. Over that decade, we have served more than 500,000 parents and built one of the most recognized platforms for authentic European infant nutrition in the country. Here is what that means in practice.

WHY PARENTS CHOOSE
Holle Baby Formula
Founded in Switzerland in 1933, Holle began as a pioneer in biodynamic infant nutrition and has since been known for simple ingredient lists free from artificial preservatives, synthetic colors, or added flavors.
Demeter Biodynamic
Demeter is one of the most rigorous agricultural certifications in Europe, emphasizing holistic, self-sustaining farm management. It goes beyond organic by requiring farms to function as closed, self-sustaining systems, where soil health, animal welfare, and ecological balance are managed as a whole.
Demeter-certified milk comes from animals raised on biodynamic pasture without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified feed. For infant formula, this matters because what a cow or goat eats directly affects the composition of its milk.
EU Organic
The EU Organic certification is the baseline standard required for any product labeled organic within the European Union. It prohibits GMOs, synthetic fertilizers, and most synthetic pesticides at the farm level, and requires that at least 95 percent of agricultural ingredients meet organic criteria.
Holle formulas meet EU Organic standards as a baseline, with many also carrying Demeter certification. Make sure to verify specific products via packaging.
Halal Quality Control
Holle’s Halal certification confirms that the formula meets the dietary requirements of Islamic law, covering ingredient sourcing, processing, and handling. For families who require Halal-certified nutrition, this certification provides independent verification that the product meets those standards throughout production.
Note that not all Holle products are Halal-certified, so make sure to check packaging for your specific formula to verify.
OUR CURATED
Organic Baby Formula and Cereals
Holle Bio Cow Milk Formula
Holle’s cow milk line covers every stage from birth through toddlerhood: Stage PRE, Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3, and Stage 4. Each stage is calibrated to meet the nutritional needs of a growing baby, with organic skimmed milk as the base and lactose as the primary carbohydrate.
Holle Bio Goat Milk Formula
Made from Demeter-certified whole goat milk, this line is designed for babies who are sensitive to cow milk proteins. Goat milk forms softer curds during digestion and has a fat structure that some babies may digest more easily. It provides complete nutrition while being gentler on developing digestive systems.
Holle Bio A2 Milk Formula
Holle’s A2 formula uses A2 milk, a type of milk that contains only the A2 beta-casein protein. Some babies who experience discomfort with standard cow milk formulas do better with A2 milk, which forms softer curds similar to those of goat milk.
Holle Bio Ready-to-Feed Formula
For parents who need a convenient option, Holle offers ready-to-feed formulas in select stages. No measuring or mixing required.
Holle Organic Baby Food and Cereals
Beyond formula, Holle produces organic cereals and baby foods suited to the weaning stage. These products follow the same sourcing standards as the formula line.
HOLLE ORGANIC INFANT FORMULA
Stages at a Glance
Holle structures its formula line by developmental stage, so the nutritional profile shifts as a baby’s needs change from newborn through toddlerhood. Holle formulas include Omega-3 (ALA and DHA from algae) and Omega-6 fatty acids to support growth, per stage-specific formulations. The table below outlines which stage corresponds to each phase of development.

| Stage 310 months to 12 months |
Supports transition toward a more varied diet alongside solid foods |
| Stage 412 months and older (toddler) |

Holle Organic Infant Formula Ingredients
What Is Inside Holle Baby Formula
Holle milk formula is built from a short list of purposeful ingredients. Each component serves a specific nutritional function, and none are included simply as fillers or cost-saving substitutes.
Milk source
Organic skimmed cow milk or Demeter whole goat milk, depending on the product line.
Carbohydrates
Lactose is the primary carbohydrate. Some stages include maltodextrin to adjust the energy density for older babies.
Fats
A blend of organic vegetable oils, including palm oil, sunflower oil, and rapeseed oil. These provide the essential fatty acids needed for brain and eye development.
Nutrients
Fortified with calcium carbonate, iron sulfate, and zinc sulfate, along with vitamins C, E, A, D, and B12 to meet infant nutritional requirements.
DHA
Derived from algae oil rather than fish oil, making it a cleaner and more sustainable source.
What Is Not Inside Holle Baby Formula and Cereal
Knowing what a formula leaves out is just as useful as knowing what it contains. Holle keeps its ingredient list free from several additives commonly found in non-European formulas, each of which raises legitimate concerns for parents focused on clean nutrition.
Added sugars
Sugars such as corn syrup, glucose syrup, or sucrose are not included. Lactose provides all necessary carbohydrates in most stages. Adding refined sugars to infant formula can set early taste preferences toward sweetness and offers no nutritional benefit.
Artificial preservatives
Holle doesn’t use chemical preservatives to extend shelf life. The formulas rely on proper sealing and storage conditions instead, keeping the ingredient list clean.
Gluten
No gluten-containing grains are used. Consult your pediatrician for dietary concerns.
Flavorings
No artificial or natural flavoring agents are added. The taste comes from the milk itself, which is mild and clean.
PREPARATION AND STORAGE TIPS
For Holle Organic Formula
The steps below apply generally across Holle’s powder formula range and other infant formulas. Make sure to always follow the instructions printed on your specific tin and seek your pediatrician’s guidance if necessary.
Sterilize
Wash your hands thoroughly and sterilize the bottle, nipple, and ring in boiling water for at least three minutes before each use.
Boil and cool water
Use fresh water and bring it to a full boil. Allow it to cool to approximately 120 degrees Fahrenheit before mixing.
Add powder
Pour half the required water into the bottle, then add the correct number of level scoops. Shake well.
Top up and shake again
Add the remaining water and shake until fully dissolved. Cool to a safe drinking temperature of around 100 degrees Fahrenheit before feeding.
Feed and discard
Use prepared formula within two hours at room temperature, or within 24 hours if refrigerated. Discard any formula left over after a feed.
Store opened tins properly
Keep the tin sealed and stored in a cool, dry place. Use the contents within three to four weeks of opening, as specified on the tin.

Which Holle formula is best?
Holle Goat formula stands out for its rare goat milk base, a unique feature not commonly found in formulas in the USA.
The Holle Goat Dutch formula offers an even larger size packaging, providing convenience and value.
For those who prefer cow milk formulas, our Holle Bio (Cow Milk) Formula and Holle A2 Formula, made with A2 cow milk, are highly sought after for their cleanliness and specific milk composition.
Join the Holle family and give your baby the nourishment they deserve.
What is the difference between an infant formula PRE and infant formula 1?
Whether you choose Holle PRE or Holle 1, both are perfect for supporting your little one’s growth and nourishment.
Our PRE formula is available in both Holle PRE cow’s milk or Holle PRE goat’s milk options, while our 1 formula features cow’s milk, A2 cow’s milk, or goat’s milk. But what sets our goat milk formula apart is its unique taste, perfect for babies who may not tolerate conventional cow’s milk formulas.
Additionally, our A2 milk comes from specially selected cows producing only A2 beta-casein protein, which may contribute to improved tolerance.
Whichever formula you choose, Holle prioritizes quality, taste, and value for your family’s peace of mind. Give your baby the best start with Holle formula - recommended from birth and throughout the first year of life.
Is Holle baby formula FDA approved?
Holle formulas meet stringent EU standards for infant nutrition but aren’t FDA-approved for U.S. sale, so they’re imported for consumer use. EU regulations cover protein, carbs, vitamins, minerals, and ingredients, ensuring suitability for your baby’s consumption. Formuland sources directly from Europe and stores under optimal conditions to preserve quality and safety.
How long does Holle formula last?
Unopened tins should be used before the expiration date printed on the packaging. Once opened, use the contents within three to four weeks. Check your specific tin for the manufacturer’s recommendation.
Can you refrigerate Holle formula?
Prepared formula can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Unopened and opened powder tins should be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Do not freeze formula powder or prepared bottles.
Does Holle formula have probiotics?
Holle’s standard cow milk and goat milk formulas do not contain added probiotics. If probiotic support is a priority for your baby, consider HiPP’s Combiotic range, which includes both prebiotics and live cultures. Our team can help you compare options.
What is better, HiPP or Holle formula?
Both are well-regarded European formula brands with strong organic credentials. The right choice depends on your baby’s specific needs. For a side-by-side comparison, visit the Formuland European Formula Comparison Chart.
Which is better, Holle or Bobbie formula?
Holle and Bobbie differ in their origin, ingredient sourcing, and formulation approach. For a detailed comparison, visit the Formuland European Formula Comparison Chart.
