Specialized Nutrition

Danone has over 125 years of expertise in Specialized Nutrition. We develop pioneering products that support people of all ages with specific nutritional needs, including babies and people with health conditions like cancer or stroke. We also provide services and educational programs to help families, caregivers, patients, and healthcare professionals make informed choices on nutrition and health.

Our product range

With more than 380 highly specialised products for early childhood and medical enteral nutrition, we support people in challenging phases of life. Our portfolio ranges from infant formula and baby food to specialised products for premature babies, growth disorders or food allergies, as well as drinkable and tube feeds for diet management in cases of disease-related malnutrition and the associated application technology. Our portfolio also includes highly specialised products for rare hereditary metabolic disorders.

Our range of services

During the first 1,000 days of life and at critical stages of life with special medical requirements, finding the ‘right’ nutrition can raise many questions and even pose challenges. That is why we are passionate about supporting parents and patients with our advisory services.

For over 30 years, our parental advice service has been supporting mothers and fathers with all their children's nutritional questions. And in the case of nutritional therapy, the Nutricia nutrition team supports patients of all ages with telephone advice and, in the case of tube feeding, also with home visits.

Our foundation: Science

100 years of research in the field of medical nutrition and 50 years of breast milk research form the foundation of our work. Hundreds of scientists work in our own research centre to continuously develop our portfolio in line with the latest scientific findings.

We also work hand in hand with healthcare professionals, supporting them with relevant information materials, specialist lectures and training courses on nutrition for healthy people, people with special nutritional needs and people who require medical nutrition therapy.
