Enfamil PFD Toddler — Protein- & Amino-Acid-Free Nutrition for Young Children with Metabolic Disorders

Enfamil PFD Toddler is a purpose-built medical food powder designed for toddlers and young children who require highly restricted diets due to inherited amino-acid metabolic disorders. This unique formula contains carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, but no protein-building amino acids or intact protein, making it ideal for use under the supervision of a metabolic specialist.

Key Features & Benefits

• Protein- & amino-acid-free base — The formula omits added protein and amino acids, enabling clinicians and caregivers to tailor supplementation of needed amino acids or intact protein separately.
• Complete micronutrient support — Includes vital nutrients for toddler growth: DHA/ARA for brain and eye development, choline, essential vitamins and minerals, and essential fatty acids.
• Easy-to-mix and toddler-friendly — Vanilla-scented powder that mixes well and stays in suspension, making it easier for young children to accept.
• Customized use for metabolic needs — Can be used alone as a calorie, vitamin and mineral supplement when protein/amino-acid needs are met, or combined with specific amino-acid/protein modules to build a complete beverage for children with metabolic disorders.

How to Use

• Use only under the supervision of a metabolic dietitian or physician experienced in amino-acid metabolic disorders.
• Measure the prescribed amount of powder, mix with the correct volume of water (or permitted beverage) to match your child’s requirements.
• If providing amino acids or intact protein separately, add them per your care plan so that overall intake remains balanced.
• Prepare and serve immediately or refrigerate if advised and use within the timeframe the clinician provides.
• Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place; once opened, follow the label instructions regarding storage and use.

Important Things to Know

• This product is a medical food for the dietary management of documented amino-acid metabolic disorders—not a standard infant or toddler formula.
• Since it contains no protein or amino acids, additional sources of protein/amino acids must be added as prescribed to meet growth and developmental needs.
• Do not use as a sole source of nutrition unless under medical supervision; regular monitoring of blood amino-acid levels and nutritional status is essential.
• Intended for toddlers and young children with metabolic disorders; not appropriate for healthy children without such disorders.
• For children with special dietary needs, caregivers should follow the metabolic team’s guidance regarding flavouring, volume, and overall diet integration.
