Holle Cow Milk Toddler Drink 6-Tin Bundle

Clean Label Project certifies Holle Cow Milk Toddler Drink under its Purity Award, certificate BBF0021-2023E-20, issued by Ellipse Analytics in May 2025 after reviewing test results for contaminants including heavy metals; the certificate gives this drink the same UPC as the goat milk drink, and the measured values are not published. Holle also tests its products for lead, arsenic, mercury and cadmium under California AB 899 and Maryland's Rudy's Law. The 2022 New York Attorney General testing that found detectable metals covered three Holle fruit and vegetable pouches, not this toddler drink.

The packaging, including the scoop, is stated to be BPA-free, but when asked directly about BPS the answer addresses only BPA, leaving BPS and BPF status unconfirmed and no migration testing or method named.

The product is named and sold as a toddler drink for children 12 months and up, never as infant formula, and directs parents to consult a healthcare professional before using it to supplement or replace breast milk. Holle separately discloses that its infant formula is not sold in the US and may not meet FDA requirements, showing a consistent, honest category distinction.

Holle advises using an opened tin of its milk drink within two weeks, or up to three weeks when kept dry and out of the fridge or freezer because the powder absorbs moisture, and states an 18-month shelf life for this drink. The opened-tin advice covers Holle milk drinks in general rather than naming this one, and no storage temperature limit for the unopened tin is given.

Holle USA appears nowhere in the CPSC recall database, 10,039 records from 1973 to 2026, but that database does not cover food. The food regulator record shows one recall by the brand: in December 2014 Holle Baby Food GmbH recalled five millet and 3-grain porridges sold in Europe and Hong Kong after atropine was found above the EU limit. That recall did not cover this toddler drink.

Preparation steps are concrete: wash hands and sterilize bottles, nipples and utensils, boil the water and cool it to about 122°F (50°C), then cool the made-up drink to 98.6°F before feeding. Holle adds that an opened tin should be used within two weeks. How long a prepared bottle can stand before it is discarded is not stated.

The Clean Label Project Purity Award for Holle Cow Milk Toddler Drink resolves on the certifier's own site under certificate BBF0021-2023E-20, issued in May 2025, which names this drink among its certified products and gives it the same UPC as the goat milk drink. Holle's Demeter and EU organic certificates do not extend to its US-sold dairy products, because the US-EU organic equivalence arrangement excludes dairy.

The full ingredient list, an 18-month shelf life and a country of production are published, but Holle gives two different countries for this toddler drink, Germany and Austria. No milk supplier or sourcing region is named beyond European. Warranty and repair routes do not apply to a consumable food.

The full ingredient list is published, and the added lactose is disclosed and explained rather than hidden. The milk is described only as European and grass-fed, with no country or farm named, and Holle states its EU organic and Demeter certification does not carry over to its US-sold dairy.

Holle states that all toddler drink packaging, including the scoop, is BPA free, but names no tin coating or lid material and publishes no migration testing for the packaging.
