Are Abbott oral nutritional supplements, tube feeds and powders milk protein free?

No, all Abbott feeds contain milk protein. However, the protein in Similac Alimentum AI-Q Plus is extensively hydrolysed. Hydrolysing or breaking down milk protein into small pieces (peptides) reduces the likelihood of the immune system recognising the protein and in turn the likelihood of an allergic reaction.

No. All Abbott feeds contain milk protein and are not suitable for people following a vegan diet.
