Nu-Mega's innovations in infant formula ingredients

Nu-Mega has achieved organic input certification for its omega-3 DHA (both tuna and algal) and omega-6 ARA products which can now be used in the rapidly growing organic infant formula market. The products were approved by NASAA late in 2016.

While still relatively small, the organic sector is the fastest growing segment within the infant formula market.

Also coming online is Nu-Mega’s DriphormRHA HiDHAR 30, a hypoallergenic DHA powder which can be used in goat and sheep milk-based infant formulas for babies and toddlers who cannot tolerate cow’s milk.

The new product uses Nu-Mega’s encapsulation technology which contains no bovine protein. This also means it is suitable for application in the medical foods market where metabolic disorders mean some patients cannot consume certain amino acids.
