Toddler formula is a powdered drink crafted to fulfill nutritional needs for children between the ages of one to three years old. Some toddlers suffer from sensitive tummies, so it’s essential that brand owners find a qualified toddler formula manufacturer who understands the importance of food safety regulations. Toddler health must be safeguarded. We will look into key considerations you should make when selecting your toddler formula manufacturer — and how Tipton Mills Foods can provide you with excellence.

Considerations for Choosing Your Toddler Formula Manufacturer

Dedication to Quality

It’s essential to verify your manufacturer’s qualifications. Ensure that your toddler formula manufacturer is committed to quality and food safety.

At Tipton Mills Foods, we meet regulatory and government food safety regulations. We hold several important food quality certifications, such as SQF, NSF, Organic, Kosher, and Gluten-free. These industry certifications hold us to a higher standard of manufacturing excellence, which our customers value.

Our customers have access to our inhouse agglomeration services to enhance product uniformity and solubility.

Extensive Capabilities

In addition to selecting a manufacturer with a dedication to quality, you should also ensure your toddler formula partner has a wide range of services and capabilities available to help you with whatever you may need. For instance, at Tipton Mills Foods, we have the capability to fill PIF (powdered infant formula) cans.

Our nitrogen flush filling is ideal for toddler formula and medical foods, and offers many benefits. Because oxygen can promote spoilage in a can, nitrogen flushing replaces oxygen with nitrogen. This affords powdered products with several advantages. It can help preserve quality and flavor, extend shelf life, and improve product stability. Because nitrogen flushing reduces the need for preservatives, brand owners can also expect higher cost-savings and improved product quality.

Our extensive capabilities also include formulation services, where our qualified food scientists can help develop customized recipes, and packaging, where we offer efficient options like pouches, sticks, cans, and more.

Stringent Internal Procedures

Finally, ensure that your toddler formula manufacturer has stringent internal procedures in place to ensure proper food safety of all products. At Tipton Mills Foods, all of our employees are trained in food safety. Our HACCP plans include x-rays, magnets, and metal detection, and extensive procedures that ensure quality, such as an allergen control program.

Our Pathogen Environmental Monitoring is thorough, and we swab equipment, floors, drains and gear to see if bacteria is present. This is an extensive process to avoid bacteria in food, which is especially vital considering the detrimental effects of the 2022 formula shortage in which many formula plants were shut down due to contamination.

With our strict cleaning procedures and preventative maintenance schedules, you can rest assured knowing that we prioritize food safety in all of our processes. Our internal testing procedures are comprehensive; they include testing of sieve, moisture, bulk density, flodex, viscosity, pH, and organoleptic testing, which is the appearance, aroma, and flavor of the product.
