As the distributor of FrieslandCampina Ingredients, we’re proud to help brands to bring high-quality science-backed nutritional solutions to market.
FrieslandCampina Ingredients - proudly distributed by Brenntag in Australia and New Zealand – recently achieved an outstanding 16 new Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) health claims for Biotis® GOS, Vivinal® GOS and Biotis®Fermentis.
Among these, twelve health claims were awarded for Biotis® Fermentis, a first-of-its-kind ingredient designed to support gut health, muscle recovery and athletic performance. In addition, Biotis® GOS and Vivinal® GOS have been recognized for their ability to support iron and calcium absorption in both adults and children over one year old.
Science-backed nutritional solutions
Consumers are increasingly looking for credible health claims on food packaging, especially for nutrient absorption. With 50% of global shoppers relying on on-pack claims to assess the nutritional benefits of food and beverage products, scientifically backed solutions are in high demand, particularly in early life nutrition. And since iron deficiency affects 1 in 8 Australians, the need for science-backed ingredients is clear. FSANZ has recognized Biotis® GOS and Vivinal® GOS for supporting iron and calcium absorption. GOS contribute to mineral absorption by reducing the pH in the intestine, increasing acidity, which makes minerals more soluble.
Research shows that gut health plays a vital role in overall well-being, including muscle function and athletic performance. Exercise, stress and diet can disrupt the gut, with 86% of athletes experiencing related issues. Biotis® Fermentis, a unique blend of whey protein, Biotis® GOS and probiotics, supports gut health, muscle recovery and performance. With FSANZ approvals, brands can now position products with proven gut-muscle benefits, gaining a competitive edge in the sports nutrition market.
Confidence in health claims
These latest approved health claims further strengthen FrieslandCampina Ingredients’ position as an industry leader, reinforcing its commitment to delivering innovative, research-driven solutions that meet the growing demand for functional ingredients in Australia and New Zealand. As the distributor of FrieslandCampina Ingredients, we’re proud to help brands to bring high-quality science-backed nutritional solutions to market.
