Change Region
Infants and young children are among the most vulnerable consumer groups, making food safety, nutritional accuracy and product quality especially important.
Mérieux NutriSciences AQ supports infant formula and baby food manufacturers, importers and brands with comprehensive laboratory testing and scientific expertise—from raw materials and manufacturing environments to finished products and shelf life.
When the Consumer Is an Infant, Every Detail Matters
Infant formula and baby food manufacturers need to manage multiple safety and quality challenges simultaneously.
Microbial contamination, nutritional variation, chemical contaminants, residues, allergens, processing conditions and packaging can all affect the final product.
Reliable analytical testing helps manufacturers and importers verify controls, understand product composition and make informed product-release and market decisions.
To help manage these risks, we focus on six critical areas across the infant nutrition product lifecycle
Contaminants & Residues
Chemical hazards and unwanted residues
Manufacturing Environment
Hygiene and contamination control
Product Stability
Safety and quality throughout shelf life
Microbiological Safety
Pathogens and hygiene indicators
Nutritional Accuracy
Macro- and micronutrient composition
Packaging & Product Integrity
Protecting the product throughout its lifecycle

Our Infant Formula & Baby Food Testing Solutions
Infant formula receives additional regulatory attention in Singapore.
SFA states that imported infant formula must be supported by documentary proof that it was manufactured in a facility regulated by the relevant overseas food-safety authority and by a health certificate confirming pasteurisation. Importers are also required to provide laboratory test reports every six months demonstrating product safety.
Special-purpose foods such as infant formula are also subject to nutrition-information requirements, including declarations for energy, protein, fat and carbohydrate, together with nutrients that form part of nutrition or health claims.

Generate analytical data for relevant microbiological, nutritional and chemical parameters.
