3 Companies Using GMOs in Baby Formula

Key points
- It seems with the many reports of birth defects, organ failure, cancer, and other unsavory health conditions associated with GMO consumption, we should limit the use of GMO in baby products.
- Why would we knowingly feed our children GMOs before it has really been proven to be 'safe' as Monsanto, BASF, and other companies like Abbott Laboratories, Mead Johnson Nutrition, and Nestlé USA, the company who wants to own water rights, tout?
- Below you will learn of three companies which represent more than 90% of baby formula sales in the US that won’t consider removing GMOs from your baby's food.
- After all, babies are very sensitive to the foods they consume, and we already know that pesticides found in mother's milk can be damaging.

Health-Damaging GMOs in Baby Formula
Why would we knowingly feed our children GMOs before it has really been proven to be 'safe' as Monsanto, BASF, and other companies like Abbott Laboratories, Mead Johnson Nutrition, and Nestlé USA, the company who wants to own water rights, tout?
If you feed your baby one of the following three infant formulas, you are perhaps, unknowingly, feeding them GMO corn, sugar beets, and soy, since they are often used these companies' products:
1. Similac
One of the widest used brands and often given out for 'free' at hospitals, this baby formula is made by Abbott Laboratories. The company is selling you a can of baby formula for over $100 that is full of GMO poisons. You could contact the company to ask why it would include GMOs, or, you can just boycott it altogether. Shareholders are supposed to vote on whether the company is able to continue to use GMO in baby formulas. Abott Laboratories is one of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies – go figure.
2. Enfamil
Another baby formula often given out as 'free' samples to new mothers iis made by Mead Johnson Nutrition. Their website boasts, 'Enfamil, scientifically designed to meet the nutritional needs of newborns and infants.' The following Mead Johnson formulas are known to have GMO toxins:
Enfamil with Iron
Enfamil with low Iron
Enfamil Lacto Free
Enfamil 22
Enfamil Next Step (both soy and milk varieties)
Enfamil Nutramigen
Enfamil Pro-Soybee
3. Gerber Good Start
The GMO-riddled formula made by Nestle' USA is perhaps the most questionable since the company has knowingly tried to 'patent' water and make it a commodity though it is all part of life itself on this planet. Do we really want to trust a company who wants privatize water with feeding our children health foods? The company went GMO free in South Africa, according to Corporate Action Network, but continues to sell American families the contaminated GMO formula we feed our babies every day.
