DuPont to emphasize probiotic leadership at Vitafoods Asia

SINGAPORE – Following the acquisition of Danisco in May 2011, DuPont has become the world’s premier speciality food ingredient and food safety business. To the customer, this means a more extensive product portfolio backed by greater resources and a stronger science focus than ever before.

DuPont is the global probiotic market leader with significant Asia Pacific business in the dietary supplement, food and beverage and pediatric nutrition category. Reinforcing a long-term commitment in the Asian region, last year DuPont invested in a probiotics blending and packaging facility in China, capable of supplying the entire region with probiotics in drum-to-hopper blends or popular ready-to-consume finished formats.

“This investment demonstrates our focus on China and the Asia Pacific region as a whole,” said Scott Bush, global product line leader, DuPont Nutrition & Health.

Today, DuPont Nutrition & Health is the only international company to produce finished probiotic formats in the Chinese market with no other competitors having a similar set-up. Interested visitors can find out more about the offering for finished probiotic formats and how formulations can be customized according to specific needs.

Building upon the already well-established offering in the area of nutrition and health, DuPont carries the legacy of bringing health to everyday life for their customers. The company will continue to use several condition-specific platforms as the basis for its nutrition and health portfolio as meeting customers’ wants and needs remain their core business focus. These platforms encompass key areas as cardiovascular health, digestive health, immune health, bone health, weight management and sports performance.
