It is kosher, pareve, and the front label states clearly "MILK FREE, LACTOSE FREE" - Soy Formula with Iron. Maybe you're thinking of Enfamil? (Ross Pediatrics' milk-based formula). It is corn syrup solids, sucrose, soy protein isolate, corn oil, coconut oil, soy oil, and a bunch of vitamins and minerals. I will, however, second that Prosobee seems to be more easily tolerated. Erin gave us back the Isomil when she was small; when we switched to Prosobee the problem ceased. She also does well with Nursoy (another soy formula). I use whatever soy formula is open when I do my baking, and have had no trouble with any of the major 3 soy brands (Isomil, Prosobee, Nursoy).
