Abstract
Introduction Symptoms from allergy to cow's milk
protein may impair a child's growth and
development and affect associated nutritional
needs. In children consuming formula as a
supplement to breastfeeding or when
breastfeeding is not possible, a formula with
extensively hydrolyzed protein (eHF) should be
indicated as the first option. Adequate intake is
necessary to reverse symptoms and regain growth.
However, infants frequently reject eHFs due to
unpleasant taste.
Combinations of ingredients and their chemical
structure could be responsible for better taste or
greater acceptance of eHF, facilitating the
nutritional recovery of the infant and adherence to
treatment.
