About Wyeth Nutrition

Wyeth Nutrition…Always Advancing
Wyeth Nutrition is a division of Wyeth—one of the largest research-based pharmaceutical and health care companies in the world. The Wyeth name is synonymous with excellence, achievement, and a commitment to world health.

The reach of Wyeth Nutrition is vast, spanning the globe with operations on 6 of the 7 continents. Today, Wyeth Nutrition's products are available in over 60 countries, nourishing infants and children from China to Australia to Mexico to Colombia to the United Kingdom to the Middle East.

What drives Wyeth Nutrition? Wyeth is dedicated to our customers—the babies, young children, and mothers we help nourish.

The Company’s philosophy can be summed up in 2 words: Always Advancing. Always Advancing drives every step of our process.

We deliver the most advanced nutritional products.
Wyeth Nutrition believes that no one ingredient makes a formula unique in comparison with other formulas. Rather, it’s the optimal combination of biofactors—nutrients and ingredients—in balanced amounts that supports health and development today and enhances future potential.

Since its beginnings nearly a century ago, Wyeth Nutrition has always tried to match the nutritional properties of human milk as closely as possible. Through decades of scientific study, we have identified many of the key biofactors in human milk and incorporated them into our GOLD infant formula.

Along the way, our scientists have discovered more about how children’s nutrition needs change as they grow. So Wyeth Nutrition has designed 3 additional advanced GOLD formulas for older infants and young children—each with biofactors that optimally suit a particular stage of development.

Each Wyeth Biofactors System formula has been designed to

• Support growth
  
• Support motor development
  
• Support optimal visual development
  
• Support optimal mental development
  
• Support optimal digestion and metabolism
  
• Promote good health

Wyeth Nutrition also offers

• Formulas for infants and children with special needs such as lactose intolerance, cow’s milk protein allergy, recurrent regurgitation, and a family history of allergies
  
• A specially designed system of hospital formulas for low-birthweight infants
  
• A complete nutritional beverage and a vitamin and mineral supplement that help meet the nutritional needs of pregnant and lactating women

We have a tradition of breakthrough scientific innovations.
Wyeth Nutrition has a long history of leadership in infant nutrition. Indeed, many of the major innovations in the infant formula industry are the outcome of the Company’s ongoing dedication to research. These include

• First infant formula with a whey-dominant protein similar to that of human milk
  
• First formula with a fat blend specifically patterned after that of breast milk
  
• First formula with beta-carotene—an important antioxidant
  
• First to add nucleotides—known to enhance immunity—to infant formula on a global basis
  
• First formula fortified with arachidonic acid (AA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)—nutrients important for infants’ and children’s visual and brain development—from purified natural sources
  
• First infant formula rich in alpha-lactalbumin, the predominant whey protein in human milk
  
• First formulas fortified with lutein, a carotenoid that helps shield young eyes from potentially harmful “blue” light and provides antioxidant protection for the eyes.

We manufacture products to the most rigorous quality and safety standards.
Wyeth Nutrition’s commitment to superior product quality has set the standard in the nutrition industry.

Wyeth Nutrition is the first formula manufacturer to have all of our plants achieve ISO certification, a designation from an internationally recognized accrediting body that signifies procedural and manufacturing excellence.

Every batch of Wyeth Nutrition’s formula is subjected to nearly 800 quality checks before it is made available for sale. Every component—from ingredients to packaging—is tested prior to, during, and after production.

We strive to exceed expectations through partnership and service.
Wyeth Nutrition partners continuously with nutritional experts around the world in pioneering scientific developments. All formulations are designed in line with nutritional needs and with the authoritative recommendations of government and other regulatory bodies.

To meet the information needs of health care professionals, Wyeth Nutrition supports clinical meetings and symposia, continuing education programs, and lecture series in cooperation with professional organizations.

The Web site wyethnutrition.com provides an easy way for health care professionals and consumers to interact with the Company and to access information about nutrition and care during pregnancy, lactation, infancy, and early childhood.

In addition, several of our Affiliates offer customer service phone lines that place Wyeth customers just a telephone call away from a caring service group.

We go beyond what health care professionals and parents demand…and provide what they and the children in their care deserve.

We always act according to the highest standards of integrity.
Integrity is one of the Company’s core values, and Wyeth Nutrition is dedicated to doing what is right for its customers.

Wyeth Nutrition has consistently affirmed its commitment to compliance with the WHO Code as implemented by governments, as well as with all national codes governing formula marketing. The statement, “Breast milk is best for babies,” which appears on every can of Wyeth infant formula, bears witness to Wyeth Nutrition’s commitment to its principles.

Wyeth Nutrition is proud to conduct its business every day in a manner that respects both the letter and intentions of laws and regulations around the world.

While we advance, our commitment to excellence remains the same.
Wyeth Nutrition is proud of our long-standing heritage. Our guiding principle is to provide the most scientifically advanced formulas and nutritional supplements of the highest quality.

Throughout Wyeth Nutrition’s long history, our essential mission has remained the same—to provide infants who cannot be breastfed with a formula as close to human milk as possible. Along the way, new discoveries about the nutritional requirements of older infants, young children, and mothers have inspired Wyeth to continue our search for excellence.

In meeting its commitments and fulfilling its mission, Wyeth Nutrition looks forward to contributing to a new Golden Age for nutrition in the 21st century.
