Call for comment on use of a nutritive substance in infant formula
Call for comment on use of a nutritive substance in infant formula Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) is calling for comment on an application to permit the use of a nutritive substance in infant formula products. The substance, 3-fucosyllactose (3-FL), is a type of human-identical milk oligosaccharide (HiMO) made using a genetically modified source organism.
