Allergen-free Infant Food With Omega-3 And 6

September 17, 2008: 11:59 AM EST
Friesland Foods Kievit has launched an omega-3 (DHA) and omega-6 (ARA) encapsulated combination that can be incorporated into hypoallergenic infant formula. The company says this is the world’s first such product. The ingredient is starch-based and free of proteins and other milk-based allergens that are common in infant formulas. According to Friesland, hypoallergenic formulas account for up to 20 per cent of the infant formula market in Germany and the Netherlands, and are growing by 10 per cent each year. It is estimated that six per cent of newborn babies are allergic to milk proteins. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends minimal infant consumption of 40mg/kg/day for ARA and 20mg/kg/day for DHA.
