    I'm assuming they would do that so if you mix it with boiled water only, it has some milk in it - not an ulterior motive as such kwim? Often when you buy dry foods like that for adults there is already milk powder in it, and this is just the same, only they are using that instead of dry cows milk powder. And I"m not defending them at all, but that's just what I think the reason would be.

    I think that's disgusting Ryn! I would be annoyed in the extreme to buy something that was only actually half what it says it it!

    Sherie, I see what you're saying, but I wouldn't have thought that it's necessary. If it's a cereal for babies, then shouldn't they assume that a baby would be getting it's milk from elsewhere? Not from a cereal? I do understand where you're coming from, but surely they need to be more specific with baby food labelling. There are people who wish their babies to have no formula........how disappointing to find that they'd fed it to their bub inadvertently in their breakfast.
