Frequently Asked Questions
Follow-on formula based on goat milk is a good alternative to follow-on formula based on cow milk. Our products have a mild flavour and meet all legal requirements.. And...'The goat is just a slightly different animal.'
Our products, like all organic products, are certified organic according to European standards. All Organic products must meet the same European standards in order to obtain the Organic certificate. This means that independent organisations supervise and check that all rules for organic farming and production of organic foods are being complied with. In the Netherlands, SKAL Biocontrol ensures that all rules are followed: www.skal.nl.
The European logo for organic products on our packaging means
- that crops are grown without chemical pesticides and that also applies to the feed that the goats receive
- that no artificial fertilizers are used
- that products are free of genetically modified ingredients (so guaranteed GMO-free)
- that dairy goats do not receive (preventive) antibiotics and are not treated with growth or milk-stimulating hormones
- that dairy goats have more space in the barn and must also be able to go outside
- that as little waste as possible is produced and that it is reused as much as possible
Palmolie wordt voornamelijk in Azië geproduceerd en vervolgens naar Europa verscheept. Het overgrote deel van die palmolie wordt op een niet-duurzame manier geproduceerd, ten koste van het milieu en het regenwoud (zie bijvoorbeeld de websites van het Wereld Natuur Fonds: www.wnf.nl of Greenpeace: www.greenpeace.org).
Natuurlijk hadden we ook kunnen kiezen voor duurzame palmolie – ja, dat bestaat, en er is zelfs een goede internationale organisatie voor opgericht (zie: www.RSPO.org). Maar dat hebben we bewust niet gedaan.
Je vraagt je nu misschien af waarom palmolie dan wél in zoveel babyvoeding zit. Simpel gezegd: omdat palmolie erg goedkoop is.
Wij gebruiken ook geen sojaolie uit Brazilië of kokosolie uit Azië. Waarom zouden we plantaardige oliën van de andere kant van de wereld halen, terwijl we hier zelf uitstekende ingrediënten hebben?
We are a bit more expensive
We are by no means price fighters. But our higher price tag is easily explained. For example, a goat gives an average of 3 litres of milk daily. On average, a cow produces as much as 28 litres per day. Therefore, we need to keep more goats to produce the same amount of milk, which involves incurring various costs, from feeding and mucking out stables to milking. We invest a lot of time and money in finding the best quality ingredients. Ideally organic. These are rarely - well, actually never - the cheapest ingredients.
So, that’s why.
Switch from breastfeeding to follow-on formula
Are you thinking of switching to follow-on formula? Always consult an independent expert, like your doctor or the consultation office. If you then decide to give follow-on formula, use a phase-out schedule. Read more about this in our Blog.
Organically certified
You can't just sell a product as "organic". The organic label is protected by law and may only be used for products that meet the legal requirements for the production process and composition. These requirements are the same for all EU countries. Very convenient, as you can be sure that everyone follows the same regulations. Would you like to know more? Please read our Organic blog (link to blog page). (We also use this text blog at “about us”.)
Our products are exclusively available through our website.
