# HiPP formula guides

## The answer

The guides answer one question each about choosing, preparing and buying HiPP formula. Every fact in them comes from HiPP's own pack information or from a public source such as the WHO, the CDC or EU law, and each page links its sources and states how strong the evidence is. A guide opens with the short answer, then gives the detail, and ends with the questions parents ask. They are grouped below by topic.
