Nutricia
North America, a manufacturer of medical foods and specialized
infant formulas such as Neocate®,
announced today that it has begun packaging its powdered medical foods
and specialized infant formulas in cans with BPA-free lining.
“Nutricia has long been the leader in medical foods and specialized
infant formulas tailored to meet the nutritional needs of infants,
children and adults with a variety of specialized health conditions,”
said Nigel Hughes, managing director of Nutricia North America. “Now
we’re leading the product category again by taking that extra step to
protect our customers ― typically the most vulnerable babies and
children ― by improving our packaging with BPA-free lining for all our
powdered products.”
Nutricia’s product line includes medical foods and formulas for the
nutritional management of allergic, gastrointestinal, metabolic and
neurological conditions. The company’s flagship product, Neocate, is an
elemental formula comprised of non-allergenic amino acids. The product
is used by infants and children with milk protein allergies and other
gastrointestinal conditions, such as short bowel syndrome,
gastroesophageal reflux disease and eosinophilic esophagitis.
Neocate is manufactured in an entirely milk protein-free facility, yet
another extra step Nutricia takes to ensure the safety of the babies and
children who rely on this formula.
Customers with questions about the product packaging can call
1-800-NEOCATE for additional information.
The Nutricia North America products now packaged in cans with BPA-free
lining include:
Neocate Infant, Neocate Infant with DHA & ARA, Neocate Nutra, Neocate
Junior, KetoCal 3:1, KetoCal 4:1, Duocal, Monogen, the Periflex,
