Parents are looking for nutritious infant formulas and toddler milk they can trust. With more than two decades of service to this market, Ingredion offers an unmatched portfolio of innovative ingredients. We do not compromise on the quality and safety of products for infants and children. We adhere to strict internal quality and safety standards that include: full traceability, monitoring our incoming materials for residual contaminants, executing microbiological controls, performing hundreds of in-process and finished product tests, as well as utilizing technology to prevent contamination.

Ingredion’s line of BIOLIGO® galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) ingredients offers an oligosaccharide profile that’s closer to human milk. These soluble prebiotic fibers promote the increase of beneficial bacteria in the colon while supporting healthy child growth and development.
