Earlier in Feb. 2017, Mead Johnson signed a contract with Bega Cheese to purchase the plant (previously owned by Tatura). The acquisition will help expand Mead Johnson’s product portfolio in China and help tap into the high potential organic market.
The 2 organic certificates listed above both expired earlier in 2018, but it is expected that Mead Johnson will renew the certificate soon.
Currently, the market share of organic infant formula accounts for less than 5 %, however growth trends and projections all paint an optimistic picture for the future of this market.
