Finnish expertise in infant nutrition: a new milestone in China

At Valio, we believe that every child deserves a healthy start to life, supported by safe, high-quality nutrition grounded in scientific excellence. In 2024, Valio achieved an important milestone by successfully registering and launching a premium infant formula in China – one of the world’s most competitive and strictly regulated markets for early childhood nutrition.
Bringing Nordic purity and science to Chinese families
China’s infant formula market places the highest demands on quality, traceability, and regulatory compliance. Successfully completing the extensive registration process is a testament to Valio’s 120 years of dairy expertise, rigorous R&D, and commitment to supporting families globally with trusted, science-backed solutions.
The new formula, developed and produced at Valio’s state-of-the-art Lapinlahti factory in Finland, follows Valio’s longstanding principles: full traceability from farm to can, safe and natural purity, and scientifically designed nutrition. Using carefully sourced Finnish milk and wet blending technology, the formula provides vital nutrients to support healthy growth and early development.

“This success reflects Valio’s unwavering commitment to delivering safe, high-quality nutrition for families around the world. It also demonstrates how Valio’s scientific expertise, traceable sourcing, and dedication to quality meet the evolving needs of the Chinese market,” says Timo Pajari, Senior Vice President, Business Unit Powders at Valio.
Strengthening trust through quality
With the official registration and launch successfully completed, Valio has further strengthened its reputation as a trusted partner in infant nutrition.
Positive consumer feedback has reflected recognition of Valio’s heritage, product quality, and focus on full traceability, all key factors in building lasting trust with families and professionals in the Chinese market.
A trusted partner in infant nutrition
Valio’s successful market entry into China reinforces its position as a pioneer in infant nutrition and a reliable partner for families, healthcare professionals, and industry stakeholders.
By combining clean, natural Finnish milk with cutting-edge scientific expertise, Valio continues to offer solutions that address today’s demands for safe, transparent, and high-quality infant nutrition.
