Nos lignes process
Throughout the manufacturing process, batch controls are performed. The manufacturing process is almost completely in a closed circuit, which strongly limits any risk of contamination.
Here are the different stages of the infant formula transformation process:
- reception of the cow's milk at the factory
- sanitary and traceability controls are carried out
- skimming: the fat is removed from the milk
- pasteurization
- addition of ingredients: proteins, lactose, milk derivatives, fats, fibres, whey, lactose, minerals...
- evaporation to remove water and start the process of transformation into milk powder
- drying to obtain milk powder and then dry addition of new ingredients such as iron, vitamins, probiotics...
- packaging of milk powder in cans
The baby food industry is not only about milk powder. It also concerns fruit or vegetable purees with or without small pieces and ready-to-drink milk for infants.
