Your Questions, Answered

How is NAN formula developed?

Every NAN formula starts with research. Our scientists extensively research to understand what babies need, then develop formulas that support their healthy growth and development. Each formula goes through rigorous testing before it's approved for production. 

Who checks the quality of NAN products?

Quality is checked at every stage — from ingredient sourcing to final release. Our quality managers, scientists, and production experts each play a role. No batch is released without multiple layers of verification and sign-off. 

What standards do NAN facilities follow?

Our facilities are FSSC 22000 certified, meaning they follow internationally recognized food safety standards. We also conduct our own internal checks that often exceed regulatory requirements. 

How do I know every batch is the same quality?

Every batch goes through 1,200+ individual quality checks. We test ingredients, monitor production, and verify the final product. The same process, every time — so you can trust what's inside.
