Nestlé Strides Into Clinical Nutrition Market With Acquisition of Vitaflo

August 2, 2010: 10:34 AM EST
With the acquisition of U.K.-based Vitaflo, Nestlé has taken a big step into the mushrooming global market for clinical nutrition products for people with inherited metabolic disorders. According to Nestlé, Vitaflo has annual sales of about $39 million and a growth rate of 30% over the last three years, as improved diagnosis and screening are detecting more cases. In addition, scientific advances demonstrate the benefits of specialized nutrition as an integral part of clinical management. The company’s products are targeted at infants, children and adults with genetic disorders that affect how food is processed by the body, including phenylketonuria (PKU), maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) and homocystinuria (HCU).
