Aptamil

Aptamil is an infant and follow-on milk brand of Danone, the French food group. It is built on the research of Nutricia, the Dutch infant nutrition company founded in 1896 whose research labs sit in Zoetermeer. Danone acquired Nutricia's parent Royal Numico in 2007 for 12.3 billion euros. Danone states that Aptamil is inspired by more than 50 years of research into breast milk and calls it the number 1 brand for follow-on milk in the UK.
