Kendamil Organic Ready to Feed Stage 1 is Kendamil's certified organic first infant milk in a bottle: the organic powder recipe, made up, UHT-sterilised and sealed in 200ml (6.8 fl oz) bottles that need no water, no measuring and no cooling. It is suitable from birth. Kendamil launched it in the UK in spring 2026 under the line "the UK's No.1 organic formula, now available in ready-to-feed bottles"*, and sells it in packs of six. We sell the bottles individually, in bundles of 18, 36 and 72.
The organic ready-to-feed range sits alongside the Classic one. If organic certification is not a priority, Kendamil Classic Ready to Feed Stage 1 comes in larger 250ml bottles at a lower price per feed. The tin this bottle is built from is Kendamil Organic Stage 1.
The Organic Powder Recipe, Already Made Up
With the Classic range, the bottle and the tin are different recipes. With the organic range they are the same recipe in two formats, and the label numbers show it.

The ingredient lists differ only in what a sealed liquid needs. The bottle adds water, a little organic lactose, citric acid as an acidity regulator, organic sunflower lecithin as an emulsifier and two amino acids (L-phenylalanine and L-tryptophan); the tin has organic skimmed milk and calcium lactate in their place. Organic whole milk, organic demineralised whey, organic sunflower, coconut and rapeseed oil, organic GOS, algae DHA, ARA from Mortierella alpina, nucleotides and taurine are common to both. In practice this means a baby on the organic tin can take the organic bottle for some feeds without a change in what they are drinking.
What Is in Kendamil Organic Ready to Feed
Water, organic whole milk, organic demineralised whey powder (milk), organic vegetable oils (sunflower, coconut, rapeseed), less than 2% of: organic lactose (milk), organic galacto-oligosaccharides (from milk), calcium citrate, sodium citrate, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, oil from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp., vitamin C, potassium hydroxide, choline bitartrate, inositol, oil from Mortierella alpina, taurine, iron pyrophosphate, nucleotides (cytidine-5'-monophosphate, disodium uridine-5'-monophosphate, adenosine-5'-monophosphate, disodium inosine-5'-monophosphate, disodium guanosine-5'-monophosphate), zinc sulphate, vitamin E, niacin, calcium pantothenate, copper sulphate, thiamin, vitamin A, vitamin B6, manganese sulphate, folic acid, potassium iodide, sodium selenite, vitamin K, vitamin D3, biotin, vitamin B12, acidity regulator: citric acid, L-phenylalanine, L-tryptophan, emulsifier (organic sunflower lecithin).
Allergens: contains milk. No palm oil, no fish oil, no soy, no added sugar, no corn syrup, no starch, no maltodextrin.
- Organic whole milk first. The fat comes mainly from the milk itself rather than from a vegetable oil blend, which is why Kendamil can leave palm oil out entirely and why the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) that comes with whole milk fat is in the bottle.
- 0.23g GOS and 0.09g galactosyllactose per 100ml. The galactosyllactose (3'-GL, 4'-GL and 6'-GL) arises from the organic milk lactose, and 3'-GL is the human milk oligosaccharide that Kendamil Organic is known for; it is the reason Kendamil markets the organic range as the first organic formula with HMOs.
- 2.8mg nucleotides, the same level as the tin. The Classic ready-to-feed bottle has none.
- 16.1mg DHA and 8mg ARA from algae and Mortierella alpina oil, so the recipe stays vegetarian.
- 1.4g protein with a 57:43 whey to casein split, 0.7mg iron, 45.2mg calcium and 1.32µg vitamin D per 100ml.
Organic Certification
Kendamil states the bottle is certified organic, and the ingredient list shows what that covers: the whole milk, the whey, the lactose, the three vegetable oils, the galacto-oligosaccharides and the lecithin are all listed as organic. The certification code is printed on the pack. Vitamins, minerals, DHA, ARA, nucleotides and amino acids are not agricultural ingredients and are permitted additions under organic rules, in this bottle as in every organic formula.

The organic bottle is the organic tin in liquid form; the Classic bottle is its own recipe with a heavier prebiotic load and no nucleotides. In the UK the organic bottle costs about 40% more per 100ml, and our pricing follows the same gap. Choose organic for the certification, the nucleotides and the 3'-GL; choose Classic for the bigger bottle and the price.
How to Use the Bottles
- Wash your hands and sterilise the feeding bottle and teat. The milk is sterile until you open it.
- Check the best-before date and shake well; whole milk fat settles on the shelf.
- Pour what you need into the sterilised feeding bottle. A newborn feed is 60-100ml, so one 200ml bottle covers two to three of them.
- Serve at room temperature or warmed. Warm in a jug of warm water or a bottle warmer and test on the inside of your wrist; Kendamil's instruction is "if warmed, check temperature on wrist before feeding". Do not microwave.
- Cap the rest, refrigerate it and use it within 24 hours. Kendamil says never to prepare a feed in advance, and any milk left in a feeding bottle should be discarded within two hours of pouring, or one hour after your baby starts.
- Unopened bottles need no refrigeration. Keep them cool, dry and out of direct sun.
How Many 200ml Bottles Will You Need?
The feeding guide above converts Kendamil's feed volumes into bottles. Because the bottle is 200ml rather than 250ml, the counts run higher than for the Classic range: about three bottles a day in the first weeks, four to five a day by four or five months, or roughly 90 to 150 a month for a baby fed on Kendamil alone. That is the ceiling. Families who mostly use powder and keep bottles for nights, travel and days out use a fraction of it, and an opened bottle keeps 24 hours in the fridge so little is wasted.
Where Kendamil Organic Ready to Feed Is Made
Kendamil's organic powder is made at the company's own factory in Kendal, on the edge of the Lake District, from milk supplied by organic farms in the region. The ready-to-feed bottles need UHT processing and aseptic filling that the Kendal site does not do, and Kendamil describes its ready-to-feed range as "lovingly made in Europe" for the company. Kendal Nutricare in Kendal is the manufacturer named on the pack, and the best-before date is printed in day/month/year order.
After Six Months
A first infant milk can be used through the first year, so there is no need to change at six months. If you want the higher iron level of a follow-on milk once solids are established, Kendamil Organic Ready to Feed Stage 2 is the same recipe rebalanced for weaning, in the same 200ml bottle.

Kendamil Organic Ready to Feed Stage 1 FAQ – Everything Parents Want to Know
Is Kendamil Organic Ready to Feed available in the USA?
Not from Kendamil USA, whose range is powder only. We import the UK bottles and ship them within the United States, with the best-before date printed in the European day/month/year order.
How long does Kendamil Organic Ready to Feed last once opened?
Cap the bottle, refrigerate it and use it within 24 hours. Milk already poured into a feeding bottle should be used within two hours, or one hour after the feed starts, and then thrown away.
Does Kendamil Organic Ready to Feed contain palm oil, fish oil or soy?
No. The oils are organic sunflower, coconut and rapeseed, the DHA is from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp. and the ARA from Mortierella alpina. Milk is the only allergen on the label.
Can I give Kendamil Organic Ready to Feed cold?
Yes. Kendamil says to serve it at room temperature or warmed. If you warm it, stand the feeding bottle in warm water or use a bottle warmer and check the temperature on your wrist first.
What is the difference between the organic and the Classic ready-to-feed bottles?
The organic bottle is 200ml, certified organic, and uses the organic powder recipe with nucleotides, sunflower, coconut and rapeseed oil and 3'-GL. The Classic bottle is 250ml, Red Tractor assured, uses rapeseed and sunflower oil only, carries more GOS plus FOS, and has no nucleotides. In the UK the organic bottle costs about 40% more per 100ml.
