Where is the Future Organic A2 Protein and A2 Protein formula range made?

Future formula range is proudly made in Australia, to the highest industry standards for quality and safety

What is the difference between single-dried and double-dried infant formula, and what are the advantages of single-dried formula?

Single-dried formula is processed using one drying step, which helps better preserve the natural nutrients, taste, and freshness of the milk. This gentler process protects sensitive proteins and vitamins, making the formula closer in quality to fresh milk. Future Brand infant formula is processed using this single-dried method, ensuring high nutrient retention and quality.

Double-dried formula undergoes two drying steps, which can improve solubility and shelf life but may slightly affect some sensitive nutrients. The extra drying step involves additional heat exposure, which may lead to minor degradation of heat-sensitive vitamins and proteins.

Choosing single-dried formula is often preferred if maintaining the natural qualities of milk is important.

How is Future brand different from other brands?

Future formula range is crafted using fresh, organic A2 protein milk sourced directly from our own farms. This commitment to using our own milk ensures unparalleled quality and traceability from pasture to product. We believe that starting with the finest ingredients is crucial for nourishing babies, and our A2 protein milk provides a gentle and wholesome foundation for optimal growth and development.

A2 Protein FAQs

Learn the basics about A2 protein including what it is, why it matters, and how it’s used in our formulas to support your baby's growth and development.

What is A2 protein?

A2 protein is a type of beta-casein protein found in cow’s milk. Most commercially available milk contains a mix of A1 and A2 beta-casein proteins. Our Future Formula range is exclusively made using milk sourced from cows that naturally produce only A2 beta-casein protein. This aims to provide a formula option that may be gentler on a baby’s digestive system compared to standard cow’s milk-based formulas.

Is A2 protein milk lactose-free?

No. A2 protein milk still contains lactose. If your baby has a diagnosed lactose intolerance, A2 milk will not be a suitable alternative.

What is the difference between A2 protein and organic A2 protein formula?

A2 protein simply refers to the type of protein present. One describes a single ingredient type, the other describes a complete product made to organic standards.

Are there any differences in nutritional content between organic and non-organic infant formula?

The nutritional content of both organic and non-organic infant formula must meet the same stringent regulations set by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ).

Currently feeding baby with infant formula of another brand. What is the recommended procedure and time requirement for transition to Future products?

A transition period of 5-7 days is generally recommended. However, some babies might need a slower transition if they are particularly sensitive. The most common and generally recommended method is a gradual transition. This involves slowly replacing portions of your baby’s current formula with the new Future formula over several days. This helps minimize digestive upset as your baby adjusts. Day 1-2: Replace 1/4 of the usual amount of formula with Future formula. (e.g., If you make a 120ml bottle, mix 30ml of Future formula with 90ml of the old formula).
Day 3-4: Replace 1/2 of the usual amount of formula with Future formula (e.g., mix 60ml Future formula with 60 ml old formula).
Day 5-6: Replace 3/4 of the usual amount of formula with Future formula (e.g., mix 90ml Future formula with 30ml old formula).
Day 7: If your baby is tolerating the transition well, you can switch fully to Future formula. Monitor: Watch for any signs of digestive discomfort or allergic reactions.
Adjust as Needed: If your baby experiences any issues, slow down the transition process.
This gradual approach helps your baby’s digestive system adjust smoothly to the new formula. Before starting the transition, it’s advisable to discuss the change with a paediatrician. This is especially important if your baby has any known allergies, sensitivities, or health concerns.

What is the best temperature for dissolving the milk powder in Future products? The instructions say 'lukewarm' water.

A generally accepted temperature range for “lukewarm” is around 37°C. This temperature is close to body temperature and is warm enough to help dissolve the powder effectively but not so hot that it could potentially damage the nutrients.

When can I start feeding my baby infant formula?

While exclusive breastfeeding is the ideal, it’s not always possible for every mother. If breastfeeding is not possible, or if you are facing challenges with breastfeeding, consult with your pediatrician before introducing formula to discuss the best timing and approach for your individual situation.

My baby has allergies, is it ok to feed Future formula to my child?

We strongly advise consulting with your pediatrician, allergist, or a registered dietitian before introducing Future products to a baby with known or suspected allergies. Any allergen ingredients are clearly stated on the back label of the can. Please do not feed your baby if they have been diagnosed with any of the listed allergens.

Are Future products GMO-free?

Yes. We carefully select our suppliers and ingredients to ensure they are non-GMO.

How can I be sure that the Future infant formula I purchase is genuinely made in Australia?

Look for “Made in Australia” labelling on the product packaging.

What is the Shelf life for Future products?

The shelf life is 2 years (24 months) from the date of production. Use by date is located on the bottom of each tin. The 2-year shelf life applies only to unopened tins. The tin can be used for 4 weeks once opened.

How should I store the product to ensure its maximum shelf life?

It is recommended to store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid storing the product in humid or damp areas.

How long can you keep Future formula in a bottle?

It is safer to prepare each formula bottle as needed and serve immediately after it is prepared. Discard unfinished formula within 1 hour. If a bottle of made-up formula is to be prepared in advance, store at the back of the fridge (2-4°C) and use within 24 hours. Discard any refrigerated formula not used within 24 hours. Always follow the instructions on the packaging exactly. Do not change proportions of powder except on medical advice.

How can I take and prepare formula when I am travelling?

When travelling, the best way to prepare bottles in advance is to fill the bottles with the correct amount of cooled boiled water/safe drinking water as per instructions on the tin. The milk powder can be carried in a separate airtight container, formula dispenser or simply use a sachet. The milk powder can then be conveniently added to the water at feeding time. Prepare each bottle immediately before feeding and discard any leftovers after one hour. If you are flying, you may not be able to carry more than 100mL of water, check whether the flight attendants will be able to supply water for you to make up your feeds.
