About the Use
Jovie goat milk products are not suitable for children with a confirmed cow milk protein allergy. Differences excist between the protein composition of goat milk and cow milk, however, an allergic reaction may still occur. Luckily, a confirmed cow milk protein allergy only occurs to 3% of the infant population. A much larger group experiences a sensitive response when drinking cow milk. Since every child is different, we advice to consult your healthcare provider about your child's symptoms and to discuss your goat milk feeding options.

Most importantly, you as a parent should feel comfortable with this choice for your baby! Goat milk is known for its naturally easy to digest properties. The soft and loose curd formed in the stomach results in smooth passage into the intestines for further digestion. This is very comforting for babies sensitive to cow milk too. The use of whole goat milk also comes with high levels of easily digestible short and mediumchain fatty acids. On top of that, goat milk is rich in highly bioavailable and critical micronutrients. The result: a comfortable goat milk choice!
Jovie goat milk products are not suitable for children with a diagnosed lactose intolerance. Lactose is the naturally occuring carbohydrate in human breastmilk, which is why we choose to use lactose in our Jovie goat milk products too. If your child has a cow milk sensitivity, we advice to consult your health care provider about your child's symptoms and to discuss your goat milk feeding options.
About the Ingredients
Unfortunately, regulation is not always up to date and hence the ingredient has not been approved in all products, for example, it cannot be used in infant formula yet.
The composition of the Jovie Oranica Goat Milk formulas may vary per country. You can check out the specific allergen information on the tin you purchased or find information on the Jovie website of your country. However, all our Jovie products contain goat milk; milk is specified as an allergen.
About the Certifications
Glyphosate is the active component in the herbicide 'RoundUp'. Although many scientists say its safety is proven, it is still under scrutiny for e.g. its carcinogenity. Additionally, it can be found more and more in the environment and even in food. The Glyphosate Residue Free certification verifies that our products do not contain the world's most used herbicide. To be certified, products must have lower levels than the government maximum residue limits, which are usually 10 parts per billion (ppb) for all pesticides. Our products are glyphosate residue free based on this definition.
