FrieslandCampina DOMO Launch Organic Infant Syrup
09 May 2017 --- In response to increasing consumer demand for organic infant formula, FrieslandCampina DOMO has become the first producer to globally introduce organic GOS syrup. This organic dairy ingredient is rich in non-digestible galacto-oligosaccharides, produced from organic-certified lactose using a proprietary enzymatic technology.
Organic Vivinal GOS Syrup is an important addition to organic infant formula.
Erik Torringa, Product Group Manager Functional Carbohydrates at FrieslandCampina DOMO said: “This product contributes to the strategy of FrieslandCampina DOMO by providing valuable organic ingredients and bringing more diversification to the growing organic infant formula market.”
Media Relation Communication Officer at FrieslandCampina Jan-Willem ter Avest told NutritionInsight: “Organic Vivinal GOS Syrup is available since the first quarter of 2017 for EU and USA. For China the organic Vivinal GOS Syrup will be available from Q1, 2018.”
“We intend to roll out our organic GOS proposition over the entire product portfolio of GOS, i.e. liquid and powder,” he said.
The product supports the growth of good bacteria, which help suppress the proliferation of harmful bacteria and maintain a healthy digestive system.
The product contributes to growing consumer awareness of infant health and the importance of food security, animal welfare and environmental sustainability. These are also addressed in FrieslandCampina’s Foqus planet, its own unique quality and sustainability program.
Organic Vivinal GOS Syrup is produced in infant formula-grade facilities and is delivered in 1200 kg IBCs. It is certified in accordance with EU and USDA NOP organic standards. Organic certification for the Chinese market is expected in early 2018.
FrieslandCampina DOMO offers a wide product range that includes GOS Syrup for wet-blend and GOS Powders for dry-blend applications in infant milk formula. The organic Vivinal GOS Syrup will be officially launched in the New Product Zone at Vitafoods Europe exhibition in Geneva, Switzerland from 9-11 May 2017.
