Neocate Baby Formula Found to Cause Severe Health Problems in Young Children
Neocate Baby Formula Litigation Attorneys | Information on Neocate Baby Formula
Young children who have previously taken Neocate baby formula have been found to suffer from severe health problems such as rickets, skeletal deformities and broken bones. This is partly due to the nutritional inadequacy of Neocate baby formulas that are marketed to provide “complete” supplementary nutrition. A published study done by the journal Bone identifies hypophosphatemia (low blood phosphate levels) as the cause of the broken bones. In even some more severe cases, children and babies have suffered long-term skeletal damage.

In 2017, Yale researchers conducted a study to investigate unexplained hypophosphatemia in children. The results showed that children who were switched from Neocate to an alternative source of nutrition immediately saw improved levels of calcium and phosphate and eventual improvement in skeletal development.
Neocate Baby Formulas are a line of elemental formulas, also known as amino acid formulas that are prescribed to infants and children who are unable to tolerate cows-milk or soy formulas. These products are marketed in the United by Nutricia while it is sold internationally by Groupe Danone which reported earnings of over $28 billion in 2017. Nutricia was informed of the side effects of Neocate Baby Formula that were occurring. They created a panel to investigate the issue which resulted in a new and improved line of Neocate products to remedy the low phosphorus levels. Even with this though, they still failed to warn customers.
