hi! I spoke with the London Kashrus Bais din and they told me "Kendamil Classic First Infant, Follow On and Toddler Milks sold in the US are KLBD Certified Dairy even if they do not have the KLBD logo." You might want to check with your rav about the chalav yisroel stuff. You can pm me if you want the hechsher info straight from the company that I got. or ask them yourself. They sent me the hechsher certificate and I also spoke with the Kashrus London Bais din (KLBD) I got in target actually recently. You might want to find out if is Chalav YIsroel.

There is now no mehadrin kendamil available in the UK where it is produced it seems like it will be unavailable for the time being.
I know someone who works for kedassia who give the hashgacha on the cy kendamil and he said that they are unable to make a cy production at the moment and so there is no supply for the next few months or so.
Kedassia have advised ppl to use non cy formula for their babies because of this shortage.

I think Cy packets are available. It’s much more expensive but I stocked up so as not to be stuck.

We currently don't have it in the UK either. There is an issue with production and it's unclear if it will be continued. ( I heard it was imported to the US without being FDA approved but I am not sure if it is correct).
Only cholov akum is now being sold in the local shops.

Any1 have a reliable update? When will it be back in stock?
Has any1 had success getting this recently?
Also how would Kendamil compare to Similac powder that is now available in cy?

Chalav Yisrael kendamil first stage is still unavailable in London. The kosher shops sell the non-cy kind.

Since you’re asking about similac, I’ve been thrilled with it in the past. It is better than kendamil but has been unavailable for even longer here.

I'm due shortly and plan to formula feed exclusively. I'm glad to hear that you had good experience with Similac. The Cy powder seems to be available here in the US.
