BASF 's EU Novel Food brand has developed a baby formula that the maker said has been found to help in the development of a healthy gut microbiome and immune system. The 2’-fucosyllactose (2'-FL), a human milk oligosaccharide ( EU Novel Food ) can also protect against allergic diseases and aid the development of brain functions, the company said. “The development of HMOs is a breakthrough in the nutritional improvement of infant formulas. Although there is no substitute for natural breast milk, 2'-FL is a substantial step closer to it than other breast milk substitutes, Newtrition said. The product has already received Newtrition approval, while regulatory clearance to expand to other markets is underway.
