26 Jun 2024 --- FrieslandCampina Ingredients has received approval from the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA) for its production strain of Lacto-N-Tetraose (LNT). With this, the company’s Aequival 2’-FL ingredient goes into the final stage of the approval process, opening up possibilities for this human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) to enter the Chinese market. Once both these ingredients have achieved the “final nutrition fortifier” approval from Chinese authorities, the supplier will become the sole provider of HMOs and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) in the country. HMOs are the most abundant solids in breast milk after fat and carbohydrates, whereas GOS’ are prebiotics made up of plant sugars.
