Almirón is an infant nutrition brand under the corporate umbrella of the Danone Group, a global food and beverage company. The products are generally marketed under the Nutricia brand name, which specializes in advanced and specialized nutrition.

Brand Focus and Expertise

Specialized Nutrition:
Almirón focuses exclusively on infant and toddler nutrition, offering a wide range of milk formulas designed for various needs, from healthy, full-term infants to those with specific dietary requirements like cow’s milk protein allergies, colic, or constipation.

Research & Development:
The brand is built on over 40 years of pioneering research into early life nutrition and the benefits of breastfeeding, led by a team of hundreds of scientists and experts within the Danone/Nutricia network.

Product Composition:
Formulas incorporate scientifically studied ingredients, such as unique blends of prebiotic fibers (scGOS/lcFOS), DHA (Omega-3 fatty acid), and in some cases, partially hydrolyzed proteins or specific human milk oligosaccharides (HMO 3’GL), with many products now being free of palm oil.

Mission:
The brand’s mission is to offer high-quality, safe, and scientifically advanced nutritional solutions to support babies’ healthy growth and immune system development when breastfeeding is not possible or insufficient.
Corporate Structure

Parent Company:
The ultimate parent company is the French conglomerate Danone, which acquired the original Nutricia company (then known as Royal Numico N.V.) in 2007.

Division:
Almirón falls under Danone’s Specialized Nutrition division, alongside other global brands like Aptamil and Nutramigen.

Market Presence:
While Danone is a global company, Almirón products are prominent in various European markets, including Spain and Greece, and are often sold through pharmacies in addition to other retail channels.
