Protein and prebiotics specialist FrieslandCampina Ingredients has announced that its lactoferrin ingredient, Vivinal Lactoferrin, is Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) for use in cow’s milk-based non-exempt infant formula for term infants and in toddler infant formula in the US. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a decline to file letter for Vivinal Lactoferrin, stating that the ingredient’s identity, method of manufacturing, intended uses and dietary exposure estimates are essentially the same as previously approved GRAS notices for the ingredient.
