ABBOTT PARK, Ill., Aug. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Abbott (NYSE: ABT) today announced the expansion of its Pure Bliss^™ by Similac^® line of organic, and European-made infant formulas that give parents a variety of products to meet specific formula preferences.

Pure Bliss by Similac offers specific sourcing of ingredients – whether certified organic ingredients or exclusively sourced milk from Ireland. These formulas are backed by Abbott's near century of providing high-quality, complete infant nutrition inspired by breast milk.   

"More parents today are looking for infant formulas with particular milk types, ingredients and formats," said Misha Pardubicka-Jenkins, vice president of Abbott's Pediatric Nutrition business. "With the Pure Bliss by Similac line, parents can find what they are looking for whether that's organic, A2 milk, European-made or liquid, ready-to-feed formulas for convenience – all from an established and trusted brand."

The Pure Bliss line includes the following:

• Pure Bliss by Similac Irish Farms infant formula offers complete nutrition that's easy for babies to digest. Made in Ireland, this infant formula starts with fresh milk sourced from Irish farms where cows feed in grassy pastures much of the year. Irish Farms formula is exclusively produced at Abbott's manufacturing facility in Ireland and is imported to the U.S.
• Pure Bliss by Similac Organic infant formula is a nutritionally complete, USDA-certified organic formula that is easy to digest. This formula, available in powder, and 32-fluid ounce and 2-fluid ounce options, is the only USDA-certified organic liquid formula available in U.S. retail stores for added feeding convenience.
• Pure Bliss by Similac Organic with A2 Milk infant formula is a USDA-certified organic formula using milk from select cows that produce A2 beta-caseinⁱ protein, which is naturally easy to digestⁱⁱ and more like the protein found in breast milk.
