High quality
Winning starts with the right raw materials
We get our organic-certified (EU & China) milk from free range cows, grazed outside on lush green grass and fed a 100% organic diet.
We are part of a farmer-owned dairy cooperative that operates under the “farm management programme, which is designed to ensure the best-quality milk, produced in a responsible manner. We achieve this through initiatives in 4 key areas:
- Milk quality and food safety
- Animal welfare
- Climate and nature
- People
This ensures the highest quality and food safety standards for our raw milk and final products - meeting market demand for quality.
Efficient process
Success is in the details
Achieving and controlling consistent high quality in infant formula products takes in-depth knowledge of ingredients' applicability in highly specific production environments. Building on industry-leading nutrition science research and documentation, our application and technology scientists can support with the design of your formula, processing and applicability challenges for industrial-scale production.
Engaging stories
Meeting the trends
In today's markets, "organic" is a sought-after health and sustainability signal. But it's seldom enough on its own. Instead, successful products must tap into multiple storylines - combining key triggers that typically include clean label, sustainability, local sourcing and traceability.
Our natural organic ingredients, applied in infant formula wet blend, provide everything you need to meet these challenges. You get a complete toolbox of marketable stories, along with full documentation, including:
- Certified organic ingredients in EU and China*
- Available in Kosher, Halal and vegetarian
- Free-range, grass-fed cows*
- Full traceability*
- Produced in Europe

Security of supply
An organic milk pool that won’t dry up
Being part of Arla Foods gives us access to the world's largest organic milk pool1, enabling a strong supply chain setup that provides a direct source of plentiful raw materials, ensuring you can easily keep up with market demand. With such a large pool, we can deliver unmatched, consistent quality from batch to batch, too.
Our organic farmers – more than 900 in Europe alone - constantly strengthen their organic proposition around soil health, biodiversity, climate and animal welfare.
In 2021, for example, they accelerated their 30% CO2 reduction target to achieve 100% green electricity by 2028. And they will increase the minimum number of days cows are on grass from 120 to 150 each year.
