For more than a century, the name Nutricia has been synonymous with infant and toddler nutrition. It all started in 1896, when Professor Backhaus, in Göttingen, Germany, first managed to manufacture milk in the factory that tried to approximate the composition of breast milk. This significant achievement became available to all families through Nutricia, which took over the industrial production of the first such “infant formula” in its factory in Zoetermeer, Netherlands
Since then, the Nutricia has drawn an impressive product development path for every need of infancy and toddlerhood, and starting from that first factory in 1896, it continues to care for children in every corner of the world today.
The Nutricia is present in 100 countries worldwide and has 4 research centers in the Netherlands, Germany, England, and Australia, where research is carried out by specialized scientists. Additionally, in Wageningen, Netherlands, Nutricia has established the largest research center in the world for the study of breast milk.
Nutricia offers mothers a comprehensive range of formulas, perfectly tailored to the most specialized needs of infants and toddlers. By constantly studying the composition of breast milk and aiming to improve Almiron formulas, it is the first company to add prebiotic fibers in 2000.
Today the Almiron 2, 3 and Growing Up milks contain:
• the unique blend of oligosaccharides GOS:FOS (9:1), approved by the European Union
• which naturally mimics the prebiotic action of oligosaccharides in breast milk
• with more than 30 published studies
The aim of Nutricia is to offer products of exceptional quality that are completely safe. This is why it makes a strict selection of raw material suppliers and performs 200 organoleptic, microbiological, and chemical checks on each production batch.
