03 Sep 2019 --- Arla Foods Ingredients has obtained Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) approval relating to its use of alpha-lactalbumin in infant formula. Alpha-lactalbumin is rich in essential amino acids and the most abundant protein in human milk, comprising about 25 percent of total protein content. Adding an alpha-lactalbumin ingredient such as Lacprodan ALPHA-10 to an infant formula means it can emulate human milk more closely in terms of protein concentration and composition.
