Common questions

Is Abbott Similac healthy?

Abbott Similac scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Abbott Similac?

Abbott Similac lists 19 ingredients, starting with Human Milk Oligosaccharides, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Whey Protein Concentrate, Coconut Oil and Milk Fat. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
