Functional Ingredients for Infant Nutrition

Innov’ia designs, formulates, and produces custom functional ingredients for infant nutrition applications: powdered milk, baby cereals, follow-on formulas, and specialized nutritional products. Our processes ensure the safety, stability, and nutritional performance of the incorporated actives, in compliance with the strictest industry standards (FSSC 22000, GMP, Halal, Kosher, Organic Agriculture).

With over 30 years of expertise in microencapsulation, spray drying, coating, and granulation, Innov’ia guarantees the quality and reproducibility of sensitive ingredients intended for infants and young children.

Infant nutrition requires absolute rigor in the formulation and processing of ingredients:

• Protection of sensitive actives (vitamins, minerals, probiotics, essential fatty acids);
• Perfect powder homogeneity and dispersibility for precise dosing;
• Preservation of bioavailability throughout the process;
• Control of microbial load and cross-contamination risks.

Our R&D teams develop ingredients perfectly adapted to these constraints, combining technological performance with total food safety.
