28 Mar 2018 --- DuPont Nutrition & Health and Inbiose NV have gained regulatory approval of their first human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) ingredient for infant formula in the European market. Evidence suggests that HMOs benefit the health of developing infants by supporting digestive, immune and cognitive development. While human milk remains the gold standard for nourishing a baby’s growth, not every mother is able to breastfeed; the large-scale production of HMOs brings infant formula an important step closer to human milk, DuPont reports.
