" Entrust your contaminant analyses to a specialist "
Infant food sector
Infant and toddler foods provide essential nutrients for the proper development of the child in the early years of life and help strengthen the immune system. Infant food is divided into the following four categories:
- Infant formulas and follow-on formulas,
- Cereal-based preparations and baby food,
- Foodstuffs for special medical purposes,
- Substitutes for the total daily ration for weight control.
This sector therefore represents major health and nutritional challenges.
Controlling health risks
The quality and safety of baby food is the safest and most controlled on the market.
Operators in this sector must comply with very strict regulatory criteria to ensure consumer safety.
