“Expanding into infant formula is a meaningful milestone for our company and a natural extension of our mission to support parents through every stage of early life,” said Steven Dunn, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of WHY Brands Inc. “Munchkin Infant Formula represents years of listening to families and working with doctors and scientists to create something truly different, including the only cow’s milk formula in the US with beta-palmitate, a type of fat found in mature breastmilk, to support digestion and nutrient absorption.”

The launch of formula marks a major milestone for Munchkin, completing its 360° Infant Feeding Ecosystem, Full Circle Feeding, uniquely designed to support families however they choose to feed. Munchkin’s Full Circle Feeding includes the Flow Nipple Shield+, lactation support products, and Bond Bottles, providing parents with high-quality, reliable options that help them feed with confidence and ease during a vital stage of parenthood.

Munchkin Infant Formula is manufactured in a state-of-the-art infant formula facility in Canada. The facility is audited by both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and adheres to the highest safety and quality standards in both countries. The formula undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it is free from pathogens and heavy metals, including specific testing for Clostridium botulinum (C. bot), the bacteria responsible for infant botulism.
