A natural and healthy development for the HMO sector.

GlobalData says that AP Tech’s 2’-FL, a sugar found in breast milk, will allow manufacturers to diversify their product offerings and provide more options for parents and caregivers when selecting infant formulas, if approved. Mohini Gupta, Consumer Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “In considering the introduction of 2’-FL produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum into infant formulas, the approval would introduce a new source of this human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) ingredient into the market..."

In 2022, the US experienced a significant infant formula shortage when Abbott recalled products due to 'Cronobacter' contamination. Following a similar line of context in the infant formula market, Reckitt/Mead Johnson Nutrition is voluntarily recalling its Nutramigen Powder batches in the US the prior week. The recall is now extended to the UK and Ireland. This incident shows the necessity for rigorous quality control in the infant formula industry through increased reviews and regular audits of manufacturing protocols and procedures. Major concerns are surfacing in the market regarding the possibility of another infant formula shortage in the US, and its impact may expand to other regions. #reckitt #infantformula #productrecall

The EU has lowered its maximum permitted levels for the food contaminant 3-monochlorpropanediol (3-MCPD) and 3-MCPD fatty acid esters in infant formulae. > 2- and 3-MCPD and their esters are contaminants of soy sauce and processed vegetable oils. 2- and 3-MCPD are formed when chloride ions react with glycerol. Under high temperatures, these MCPDs can then react with fatty acids in the oil to form MCPD esters, the form which is predominantly found in food. > The new rules also apply to follow-on formulae, food for special medical purposes intended for infants and young children, and young child formulae. 🔹 From January 1 next year, powdered products of this type must 𝗻𝗼𝘁 contain a total of more than 80 μg/kg of 3-MCPD and its 3-MCPD fatty acid esters (down from 125 μg/kg currently). 🔹 On the same date, the total upper limit for the same compounds in liquid products will be reduced from 15 μg/kg to 12. > The highest concentrations of 3-MCPD esters are detected in palm oils and fats; however, they also occur in most vegetable oils and fats, as well as in all processed products that include these ingredients. Additionally, they are present in various food items such as infant formula, follow-on formula, the crust of bread, roasted nuts, and dried milk. #ScienceForaSaferWorld #FoodAnalysis #FoodSafety

A peer reviewed article was published in the journal ‘Animals (2024)’, sharing research on Gastrivix™ Avi. The article created in cooperation with Imasde Agroalimentaria discusses how Gastrivix™ Avi – despite having a low dosage compared to conventional practices using short chain fatty acids – showed improvements in daily weight gain, a significantly reduced FCR and a better EPEF value.

Some things just fit perfectly together – peanut butter and jelly, cookies and milk, summer and sunshine. The same goes for orphan drugs and specialty packaging. Orphan drugs are designed to treat rare diseases and demand more than just a standard packaging. These specialized medications often have unique properties which require special features. Special features which for example offer: - Enhanced protection: Orphan drugs are often sensitive to environmental factors. Specialized packaging protects the drug's potency and efficacy by shielding it from light, moisture, and temperature. - Patient-centric design: Complex treatment regimens are common with rare diseases. Specialty packaging with clear instructions and dose reminders improves adherence and treatment outcomes. - Error reduction: Specialty medications often have unique administration requirements. Tailor-made packaging minimizes the risk of errors by incorporating user-friendly designs, ensuring the medication is taken correctly, especially by those with physical or cognitive challenges. In essence, just as sunshine is the magic ingredient of summer, specialty packaging is the magic ingredient for successful orphan drug treatment. See it as a strategic partnership that protects the medication, empowers the patients, and ultimately elevates the quality of life for those facing rare diseases. Isn't that what it's all about? #rarediseases #orphandrugs #pharmaceuticalpackaging #patientcentric #specialtypackaging

⚠️ Nearly 200 Chemicals Linked to Breast Cancer Found in Food Packaging and Food If you have the option, Parkinson advised consumers to store foods in containers made of steel, glass or ceramic — they’re inert, meaning they don’t transfer chemicals from their interiors — wait for foods to cool before storing, put fatty or acidic foods in inert containers and buy in bulk or without packaging.
