Canada Royal Milk has received approval from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to produce infant formula for the Canadian marketplace at its Kingston plant.
The dairy processor, a subsidiary of Feihe China Limited, has been producing powdered milk products since it opened in 2019.
In a March 27 statement, the company said: “After a lengthy process of nearly two years, Canada Royal Milk has now received both Health Canada and CFIA approval. Meeting the infant formula needs of parents has been Canada Royal Milk’s number one priority since breaking ground in 2019. Next steps to begin production of the first batch of infant formula have been initiated, and it is anticipated that the product will be available for retail distribution from coast-to-coast-to-coast this summer. Canada Royal Milk is guided by the highest standards of safety, quality and excellence to create a made-in-Canada infant formula. Now that the necessary approvals have been obtained, Canada Royal Milk is committed to supporting the health and nourishment of families across the country.”
