Soy oil removed: Soy oil was replaced with canola oil.
Optimized nutrient levels: For example, amounts of vitamin D as well as DHA and ARA were increased.
Decreased osmolality: Fewer particles in solution may improve gastrointestinal tolerance.
Increased calorie and can yield: Each 400-gram can now yields 1932 calories and 97 fluid ounces.
Updated mixing instructions: Caregivers will now add water first, then powder.
Altered scoop size and color: Caregivers should discard the old scoop to avoid mixing errors.
