Peerless Foods have recently invested substantially in Research & Development and Capital works including a state-of-the-art technical centre specifically for the requirements of complex Infant Formula customers. With a high level of technical expertise in our Product Development team enabling us to offer a service that includes everything from assisting with the development of blend “recipes” that meet required profiles and outcomes through to the actual production of those blends or blends that a customer has already developed. These technical resources allows Peerless to remain at the forefront of industry developments around the complexity of oil blends and their fatty acid profiles.
Peerless Foods has existing relationships with a number of Infant Formula customers all using specific blends to satisfy their needs. We are market leaders in the understanding of 3MCPD & Glycidyl Esters and their relevance to Infant Formula.
Peerless Foods has a world class Commodities division with global supply capability to mitigate supply risk. We can provide informed advice on the status of the Global Oil Market and how predicted changes may affect our customers’ requirements and commercial outcomes. We have had significant success in sourcing supplies of both Palm and Coconut oils that have low 3-MCPD levels prior to processing. Peerless Foods is already utilising low 3-MCPD Palm oils in some of our Infant Formula blends achieving promising results.
Our operational and logistical flexibility together with our close proximity to Australia’s key dairy farming and processing areas guarantees unparalleled response times to urgent orders or changing production schedules. Finally we have a responsive structure, allowing for unparalleled customer service and quick turnaround in development and approval of specialised Infant Formula and other complex nutritional blends.
