HIGH-QUALITY PROBIOTIC STRAINS FROM BRANDS YOU TRUST

OVER 200 YEARS OF COMBINED EXPERIENCE

Abbott has partnered with the global bioscience company Chr. Hansen to manufacture Similac Probiotic Tri-Blend. Combined, our companies bring more than 200 years of industry experience. Chr. Hansen, the world’s largest culture manufacturer, develops probiotic strains backed by scientific data, produced within facilities that are compliant with US manufacturing regulations.

 

DNA FINGERPRINTING ENSURES IDENTITY & PURITY

As each new batch of a probiotic strain is produced, DNA fingerprinting is done to confirm that the profiles of the reference culture and the new batch remain identical to ensure we deliver only the original, high-quality strains.

 

CONTAMINANT TESTING THAT GOES BEYOND INDUSTRY STANDARDS

Our rigorous, multiphase microbial contamination testing goes beyond what’s required for both dietary supplements and infant formulas to provide a safe product for hospital use.
