Definition and Scope: Soy infant formula is a plant-based alternative to traditional cow's milk-based formula, specifically designed for infants who are unable to tolerate lactose or have dairy allergies. It is formulated to provide essential nutrients such as protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals necessary for healthy growth and development in infants.

Moreover, advancements in formulation technologies have improved the taste and nutritional quality of soy infant formula, making it more appealing to consumers.
