LycoRed Creates Nutritious Products for Kids
06 February 2007
Materna Laboratories, the leading infant formula company in Israel, extends its line to young children with the launch of Materna Big. This triple action, powdered milk product is fortified with vitamins formulated by LycoRed, Beer Sheva, Israel.
"Materna wanted to create a reduced-sugar, fat-free product that would appeal to both kids and their mothers. While we know that adults are often willing to sacrifice on taste and colour for the sake of good nutrition, kids, on the other hand, are uncompromising when it comes to the taste and overall look of the foods they will eat, " explained Udi Alroy, Marketing Director at LycoRed.
"To meet the challenge, we had to satisfy both the mothers' demand for a nutritious, healthy product, and the kids' demand for great taste. LycoRed succeeded by first selecting the highest quality vitamins necessary for kids' development and then masking the unpleasant vitamin / mineral taste."
"The LycoRed vitamin formulation, with its improved solubility and extended shelf life, made it possible for Maabarot to come to market with the type of advanced formula powdered milk drink we were after," said Orly Regev, Marketing Director at Maabarot. "Maabarot's mission is to create nutritious, great tasting products that help parents ensure that their kids will get all the nutrients they need."
Materna Big contains 23 essential vitamins and minerals, probiotics and fibre to support fiscal development, immune system function, and healthy digestion in children aged two-and-a-half to eight years old. Materna Big comes in chocolate, strawberry and banana flavours. It can be consumed alone as a milk drink, or together with breakfast cereal, and is now available in major supermarket chains throughout Israel.
Materna is the leading infant formula company in Israel. The manufacture site is certified GMP, ISO 9001:2000, HACCP. All products are kosher and manufactured in compliance with the strictest quality standards.
