Does formula in the US need a Hechsher on the can?
Is there a list of kosher brands/companies?
Thanks!

It generally does require a hechsher, unless your baby has medical issues and can't have any of the kosher options.

Ask your rav. My rav said that for babies, as long as the only issue is about cholov yisroel vs stam, it doesn’t require a hechsher. I read him the ingredients on a German brand formula and there was some dairy thing there but otherwise it was all regular ingredients. He said it was completely fine
ETA , obviously he said with a hechsher is more ideal but there was nothing with a hechsher that had what I was looking for.
The potential issues would be treifus, so if there were any meat based ingredients, that would be a problem

Yes. If you have a severe medical issue requires special formula consult a rav or call a kashrus org to discuss the Ingredients.
Most formula in usa has a hechsher

Barring health concerns, it very important to ensure our children only eat kosher - especially babies.

I think all the main American ones are kosher. Some of the hypoallergenic ones are truly treif- talk to your lor if that's what your kid needs. Very few of them are cholov yisroel, talk to your lor if you're not sure if you should be makpid on that.

My rabbi said yes.
My state only provided Gerber formula through WIC, and only their soy formula is kosher, and I've heard it gets worse outcomes, so I asked and my rabbi said it needed a hechsher. (And then my baby's eczema cleared up: apparently he was sensitive to the dairy formula).

If you have a heter for your child to be on non kosher, or non hechshered formula, you must be careful with washing the bottles. You should use the bathroom sink to make and wash the bottles.

I was told to use a separate sponge and wash in the regular kitchen sink with no other dishes in the sink.
