I think it might be confusing for some people, and they might wonder
what this has to do with babies!  ;-)  I'd likely go for "bovine milk
modified for infants" or "artificially modified cow's milk for infants"
or something.  It's longer, but it definately tells you a) what it is
based on, b) that it has some artificial-ness to it (not the cow's milk
itself, but the end product), and c) that it is for babies.
