Résumé
As recommended by WHO, breastfeeding is the best choice and safe for infants. The formula for infants plays an imperative role in the infant's diet and remains an excellent alternative for breast milk. The milk formula for most infants has been increasingly changed with various compositions to create a similar breast milk production. This study aims to analyze and determine the chemical composition of a few milk formulas available in the Saudi Arabian market. Thirty-five milk formula samples for infants of different age categories were collected from Riyadh City and analyzed for protein, fat, carbohydrates, lactose, total solids, total non-fat solids, calcium, iron, and zinc. Among batches collected, there were 15 branded products suitable for those of age 0-6 months, five for those of age 0-12 months, four for those of age 1-3 years, and 11 for those of age 6-12 months. For infants, the milk formula sample parameters investigated varied significantly ( There were significant variations between milk formulas of the same ages. According to age groups, some nutrients were not identical to the reference values for children's food.

UNASSIGNED
Thirty-five milk formula samples for infants of different age categories were collected from Riyadh City and analyzed for protein, fat, carbohydrates, lactose, total solids, total non-fat solids, calcium, iron, and zinc. Among batches collected, there were 15 branded products suitable for those of age 0-6 months, five for those of age 0-12 months, four for those of age 1-3 years, and 11 for those of age 6-12 months.
