#InfantFormula must be fit for the most vulnerable population: infants. That's why quality and safety are unequivocal priorities for manufacturers. Our latest factsheet explains the stringent measures manufacturers take, as well as the key role of parents and caregivers 👇 #FoodSafety

On #WorldFoodSafetyDay, we reaffirm a shared commitment to #SafeFood for all. This year’s theme is a powerful reminder that #FoodSafety is both a public health imperative and a practical, science-driven endeavour that requires sustained collaboration across the food chain.

Data is power in #FoodSafety. Understanding the magnitude, distribution and impact of foodborne risks helps target interventions, strengthen food control systems and improve practices across the chain. #WorldFoodSafetyDay

People with special dietary needs depend on safe and nutritious foods in their everyday lives. That is why #FoodSafety is at the heart of the design, production and use of special dietary foods. #WorldFoodSafetyDay #SpecialisedNutrition

Foodborne risks don't affect everyone equally. For people with special dietary needs, food safety is not optional. That means manufacturers of special dietary foods operate in a high-responsibility environment, placing #FoodSafety at the centre of everything they do. #WFSD2026

Getting the macronutrient balance right is fundamental to infant and young child nutrition. Carbohydrates, proteins and fats are interdependent energy sources. They must be carefully calibrated to support healthy growth, development and long‑term wellbeing. #InfantNutrition

💬 Standards are only as good as their implementation and #MethodsOfAnalysis. Without such methods we would have no idea whether a commodity was meeting provisions that had been established to ensure the food was safe, or meet the quality parameters or nutritional requirements.
