Important: Goat-milk formula is not appropriate for babies with diagnosed cow's milk protein allergy. Goat and cow milk proteins are similar enough that allergic babies typically react to both. For a suspected allergy, talk to your pediatrician about hypoallergenic options.
Our verdict
The best-specced goat formula on US shelves: whole A2 goat milk with goat whey at a 60:40 ratio, naturally occurring MFGM, GOS plus an HMO, no palm oil, and algal DHA instead of fish oil. At $44.99 a can it costs about a third more than Kendamil's cow-milk Classic, and you will find it in fewer stores. Skip it if your baby has a diagnosed cow's-milk allergy, because goat protein cross-reacts.

- Cheaper per ounce than Kabrita ($1.60 vs $1.77) in a category where nothing is cheap
- Palm-oil-free, soy-free, fish-oil-free, with lactose as the only carbohydrate
- Large 28.2 oz cans stocked at Target, Walmart, and Kroger-family stores
Worth knowing
- $44.99 a can from Kendamil direct, roughly a third more than Kendamil's cow-milk Classic
- Stocked in fewer stores than Kendamil Classic; the goat line is newer
- Not organic, unlike Kendamil Organic
- Goat protein is not appropriate for a diagnosed cow's-milk protein allergy
What's in it

Note: Price basis: Kendamil USA's own listed price of $44.99 for the 28.2 oz can, which is $1.60/oz. Grocery listings run higher (about $46.99 at Kroger-family stores). No ASIN is recorded: no amazon.com/dp URL for the 28.2 oz goat INFANT can could be confirmed during research, and the goat TODDLER drink is a separate product that must not be substituted. Kendamil markets the goat line as the only goat formula with both naturally occurring MFGM and an HMO; that is a manufacturer claim, reported here as theirs. US launch was announced August 21, 2023 as a Target exclusive, with distribution widening since.

Loved
- Reviewers report it dissolves cleanly in hot water with little clumping or foaming
- Reports of less gas, fussiness, and spit-up after switching from cow's-milk formula
- The whole-milk recipe and short ingredient list are cited as the reason parents pay the premium
Common complaints
- Price is the dominant complaint in the goat category generally
- Some babies prone to bloating are reported to handle the whole-milk fat less well
- Narrower shelf presence than mainstream formulas, so many parents order online
Common questions
Is Kendamil Goat formula sold in US stores?
Yes. It launched in August 2023 as a Target exclusive and is now also carried by Walmart, Kroger-family stores such as Fred Meyer, Instacart, and Kendamil's own US site at $44.99 per 28.2 oz can.
Kendamil Goat vs Kabrita: which is better?
Kendamil Goat has the stronger ingredient list (whole goat milk fat with naturally occurring MFGM, an HMO, and no palm oil) and costs less per ounce, $1.60 against Kabrita's $1.77. Kabrita's edge is history: it was the first goat-milk infant formula to clear full FDA review, in June 2023, and it has been on US shelves longer.
Does goat milk formula help with gas and constipation?
Parent reports often describe improvement after a switch, and goat casein forms a softer curd, but the evidence is largely anecdotal and tolerance varies by baby. Goat formula is designed for general comfort and digestion, not for treating a diagnosed condition. Talk to your pediatrician before switching for a specific symptom.
