About Kendamil

Kendamil is a British, family-owned baby formula brand with more than 60 years of experience. Based in England’s Lake District, Kendamil develops its recipes in the UK and produces its formula at its own factory in Kendal, England — with additional production in Europe to meet growing international demand. Its milk comes from British family farms.

The brand is best known for using whole milk as a key ingredient. Rather than relying entirely on vegetable oils for fat, Kendamil uses naturally occurring milk fat from whole milk — giving its recipes their creamy taste and naturally golden colour.

Kendamil’s approach is simple: thoughtfully sourced ingredients, European nutritional standards and recipes without palm oil, fish oil, soy oil, corn syrup or maltodextrin. Its range includes organic cow milk formula, goat milk formula and Classic formula.

What makes Kendamil distinctive

• Whole milk recipe — Kendamil uses whole milk as a major source of fat, rather than building its fat blend entirely from vegetable oils
• No palm oil — Kendamil uses a blend of whole milk fat and vegetable oils without palm oil
• Plant-based DHA — DHA is sourced from marine algae rather than fish oil, so there is no fishy smell or taste
• Clean carbohydrate approach — Kendamil recipes do not contain corn syrup or maltodextrin
• British-made — Kendamil is the only formula brand with its own factory in the UK. All recipes are developed in Kendal, England, where the majority of its formula is produced.

The Kendamil range

Kendamil Organic Cow Milk formula

Kendamil Organic is made with certified organic whole cow’s milk from British farms. It uses lactose as its primary carbohydrate and contains whole milk fats, plant-based DHA and GOS prebiotics. Like all Kendamil formulas, it is free from palm oil, fish oil, soy oil, corn syrup and maltodextrin. Available in Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3.

Kendamil Goat Milk formula

Kendamil Goat is made with full-cream goat milk and naturally contains A2 goat milk protein. It is a popular option for healthy babies whose parents prefer goat milk as the base. The recipe contains lactose as its main carbohydrate, whole goat milk fats, GOS prebiotics and plant-based DHA. It is not hypoallergenic and is not suitable for a diagnosed cow’s milk protein allergy. Available in Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3.

Kendamil Classic Cow Milk formula

Kendamil Classic is the brand’s original whole-milk recipe. It is not organic, but retains the key Kendamil principles: British whole milk, no palm oil, no fish oil, no soy oil, no corn syrup and no maltodextrin. Classic formulas include both GOS and FOS prebiotics in Stages 1 and 2, with GOS in Stage 3. Available in Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3.
