New Zealand's infant dairy formula exporters establish new organisation
The New Zealand Infant Formula Exporters Association has been established to represent the infant formula exporters in the country.
The new association, which will be branded as Infant Formula New Zealand, will seek to protect the interests of New Zealand infant dairy formula exporters.
To achieve this, the Association plans to develop an accreditation process for approved export brands. It plans to be self-regulated, and is seeking a close collaboration with the government.
The founding members are Avante International, Biolife NZ, Carrickmore Nutrition, Homecare, Naturlait, NCA International, NZFF, Oohc-Oohc, Realize Asia and NZ Yum Yum Milk. Michael Barnett has been selected as the independent chairman.
