Hypoallergenicity as Assessed by Reaction to Amino-acid Based Infant Formula
To demonstrate that the test formula does not cause immediate and/or delayed allergic reactions to a double blind placebo control food challenge (DBPCFC) and/or a subsequent open food challenge (OFC). Incidence of immediate and/or delayed allergic reactions to the DBPCFC with the study product and/or active comparator and/or during the subsequent OPEN challenge phase of the study.

Cow's Milk Allergy Related Symptoms
Cow's Milk Allergy related Symptoms recorded at visit 1 and visit 4 using the Vandenplas symptom-based score (SBS). The scoring ranges from 0 to 33. Each symptom has a maximal score of 6, except respiratory symptoms where the maximal score is 3. If final score ≥ 12, the symptoms are likely cow's milk related. This could potentially be CMPA. If final score \<12, the symptoms are less likely related to cow's milk. Look for other causes.
