a

PEARL model 4.4.4 (EFSA, 2017a).

b

Water consumption of 0.227 L/kg bw per day is based on formula intake of 260 mL/kg bw per day and 1:8 milk powder (33 g/kg bw per day) per end product (weight basis); EFSA Scientific Committee (2017).

c

WHO (2017) assumed drinking water consumption of 0.75 L (infant), 1 L (child) and 2 L (adult).
