HIGH-QUALITY PROBIOTIC STRAINS

CONTROLLED, RIGOROUS TESTING

Our multiphase production process maintains a high level of safety, often exceeding the microbial testing standards for dietary supplements and infant formula. 

PRODUCT POTENCY & STABILITY ENSURED

Tested to confirm strain identity and confirm that the product contains 100% of the quantity of probiotics declared on the label, with shelf stability at room temperature.

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.

MULTIPLE TESTING POINTS THROUGHOUT PRODUCTION 

Our production process maintains a high level of microbial safety. This helps ensure product safety for all infants.
