Abstract
Food products for nutrition of infants which contain no more than subirritant amounts of free long-chain (C.sub.16 -C.sub.22) fatty acids and triglycerides thereof are disclosed. Providing esters, such as ethyl esters, of such fatty acids in infant food products essentially eliminates the tendency of the fatty acid to damage the infant intestinal epithelium, but permits absorption and processing of the fatty acid moiety.
