That company has to make commercials, print ads, and offers free samples to the hospitals, and they pass the cost on to the consumers. The reason store brands like Parent's Choice can sell for so much less is because they don't spend their funds on major market advertising. They rely on word of mouth or in store displays. All formulas are regulated here in the US by the FDA and require they contain the same nutritional value regardless of their price point. You can rest assured that your baby is getting the best nutrition possible from an infant formula when you purchase the store brand formulas like Parent's Choice!
