Safe Ingredients Tailored to the Requirements of 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 and is involved in the formulation and manufacturing of various ingredients and semi-finished products:

  • Ingredients designed to strengthen infants’ immune defenses
  • Foods for special medical purposes (e.g., intolerances, rehydration)
  • Prebiotics (supporting the development of intestinal microbiota)
  • Thickening agents for feeding and nutritional support
  • Dietary supplements

Ensuring Nutrient Stability and Safety

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.

A Comprehensive Offering for Infant Formulations

Innov’ia supports infant product manufacturers at every stage of formula development:

Milk and Infant Nutrition Formulas

Protection of probiotics, vitamin stability, powder homogeneity, and good solubility.

Cereals and Weaning Products

Preservation of sensitive nutrients and improvement of texture and taste.

Liquid or Soluble Supplements

Microencapsulation for controlled release and better bioavailability of actives.

Organic and Clean Label Products

Processes compliant with organic regulations and free of controversial additives.

The processed ingredients can include:

  • Microorganisms (including probiotics);
  • Minerals, vitamins, amino acids;
  • Natural extracts and vegetable oils;
  • Enzymes and other specific bioactives.

Each solution is custom-developed according to formulation needs and regulatory specifications of the target market.

FAQ – Functional Ingredients for Infant Nutrition

We follow strictly controlled manufacturing protocols to ensure maximum safety of our ingredients. Our sites feature controlled production zones, temperature control, and continuous microbiological quality monitoring. Each raw material is rigorously selected and traced to guarantee purity, stability, and compliance of our products for infant nutrition.

Yes. We can manufacture organic-certified products upon request through Ecocert, ensuring no cross-contamination with conventional products. Our processes comply with European organic standards while maintaining the same safety, traceability, and performance standards. We support our clients in developing safe, regulation-compliant organic infant formulas.

Our technologies protect and stabilize a wide range of sensitive actives: vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, probiotics, enzymes, or marine oils. This approach enhances resistance to oxidation and heat, while optimizing release and bioavailability. It helps preserve nutritional value and sensory quality of infant preparations.

Each ingredient undergoes a complete validation process before industrial production. We perform solubility, particle size, and regulatory compliance tests. Microbiological and physico-chemical checks are carried out according to ISO and FSSC standards, ensuring safe, stable, and compliant ingredients for the infant nutrition market.

Yes. We co-develop with clients new or optimized formulations. Our support covers process selection, pilot trials, and scale-up to production. This approach allows us to provide tailored, reliable, and compliant solutions while reducing time-to-market for infant product manufacturers.
