The website says it's nutritionally complete. It's VERY rare to find a formula that does not have enough iron unless you seek out low iron formula.

thank you. i was wondering the same. how could they translate the can wrongly.

 

[MrsRabbit]

I have found sometimes things get lost. Like the translation doesn't have an exact match so instead of seeking out someone who speaks the language who could give a like word\term they leave it off or use a word which seems silly in context.

 

[bababas]

well the exact words were ...
CAUTION this formula is not iron fortified. after 4months you need to add iron from other sources of food for your baby.

very confusing. i think i will call the healthcare now and ask there.

Yes, I'd check if you are abroad. Rules may be different where you are. But I think in the UK formula has to be iron fortified.

i called my healthcare, and they do not agree with this translation. they say SMA GOLD is fine until 6 months concerning the iron. i will write those translaters an email. they have a contact email and complain to them. I compared the iron of SMA gold to NAN2 and it is almost the same. im very disappointed about their translation. i mean they added that sentence so they did not even translate it.
