In response to what it says is increasing consumer demand for organic infant formula, FrieslandCampina DOMO claims it is the first producer to globally introduce organic GOS syrup. This organic dairy ingredient is said to be rich in non-digestible galacto-oligosaccharides, produced from organic-certified lactose using a proprietary enzymatic technology. Organic Vivinal GOS Syrup, the company, claims, is an important addition to organic infant formula.
“This product contributes to the strategy of FrieslandCampina Domo by providing valuable organic ingredients and bringing more diversification to the growing organic infant formula market,” said Erik Torringa, Product Group Manager Functional Carbohydrates at FrieslandCampina DOMO. “The product supports the growth of good bacteria, which help suppress the proliferation of harmful bacteria and maintain a healthy digestive system.”The product contributes to growing consumer awareness of infant health and the importance of food security, animal welfare and environmental sustainability, the company believes. These are also addressed in FrieslandCampina’s Foqus planet, its quality and sustainability programme.Organic Vivinal GOS Syrup is produced in infant formula-grade facilities and is delivered in 1200 kg IBCs. It is certified in accordance with EU and USDA NOP organic standards. Organic certification for the Chinese market is expected in early 2018.
