Repaying with the same product from a more expensive brand

Question

Shalom.

If someone borrowed a few spoonfuls of Materna formula and wants to repay with Similac, which is more expensive, is this permitted?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha.

He should repay according to monetary value.
(If he repays according to measure, he will end up returning more in value).
