Imported Infant Formula Brands Using NZ Milk

Summary

Several imported infant formula brands source their milk from New Zealand. These include Karicare, a New Zealand domestic brand; Anmum,

produced by Fonterra; A2, which holds the exclusive a2-β casein patent;

Cow & Gate (Hong Kong edition), manufactured in New Zealand; and Auricare,

a joint product between New Hope and Synlait.

Commentary

New Zealand milk maintains a strong foothold in China's premium infant formula market, with A2 and Karicare leading sales. Auricare, produced by Synlait in partnership with New Hope, highlights how smaller New Zealand dairy companies can expand globally by leveraging Chinese partners. Meanwhile, Fonterra's supply chain model for Anmum demonstrates the practicality of using local processing advantages for original design manufacturing orders.

However, the complexity of China's registration system requires compliance planning well in advance.

新西兰奶源在中国高端奶粉市场地位稳固，A2、可瑞康等领跑。新莱特与新希望合作产出的爱瑞嘉，为中小乳企提供了借力中国伙伴的出海范例。同时，恒天然安满的供应链模式也提示，利用本土加工优势承接ODM订单是现实选择。

但提醒，中国注册制复杂，合规布局需前置。
