Recent media coverage of Karicare Gold Plus Dear Karicare consumer, You may have been made aware by recent media coverage that the dispute regarding one of our ingredients in our Karicare Gold Plus* products is still ongoing with the NSW Food Authority (NSWFA). The ingredient in question is used in dozens of Australian consumer products by well known manufacturers. These discussions are around the process of how this ingredient is classified. There is no question or concern regarding product safety. We are now in legal proceedings with NSWFA in order to bring about a swift resolution to this dispute. As a mother of two children, I can appreciate the concern that this might raise with parents and caregivers. On behalf of Nutricia, I personally want to reassure parents that we, and international food authorities, remain absolutely confident in the safety of our infant formulas. Karicare Gold Plus* has been shown to be safe through clinical trials and consumer experience involving over 10 million babies worldwide, since the product was first launched in Europe seven years ago. At Nutricia our core values are "Care, Integrity, Agility and Commitment". All our actions are measured against these values. We appreciate the thousands of emails and calls of support from consumers like you. Parents with any questions should speak to their GP or call Nutricia’s Advisory Service on 1800 060 057. Thanks for your continued support and loyalty. Warm regards, Toni Brendish Managing Director Nutricia Australia and New Zealand
