Winning 10 international awards, Feihe evolves into a leader in comprehensive nutrition for all ages In the international functional food field, the Functional Food and Health Summit serves as a key indicator. Feihe's awards not only represent international recognition of Feihe's product quality and innovation capabilities in comprehensive nutrition products throughout the lifecycle, but also signify its transition from a leader in infant formula to a leader in comprehensive nutrition for all ages, continuously contributing the "Chinese solution" to a more intelligent, healthier, and longer life for humans. During the summit forum, Mr. Zhang Xuguang, vice president and dean of the research institute of Feihe, granted an exclusive interview at the conference. He mentioned that Feihe is ushering in a new era of comprehensive nutrition throughout the lifecycle with technology as the cutting edge. The current nutritional functional food industry is facing multiple opportunities, and Feihe is improving the linkage efficiency of "capturing consumer demand, technological breakthroughs, and achievement transformation" through the establishment of an integrated industry-academia-research ecosystem led by market insight. While strengthening its leadership in infant formula R&D and breast milk research, Feihe is also focusing on innovation for different age groups and specific health needs, concentrating on the development and exploration of fresh milk ingredients, advancing clinical research, covering multi-level technological innovations from basic nutrition, functional nutrition, to professional nutrition, and a layout of comprehensive nutrition and functional food products throughout the lifecycle. Among the award-winning products, Feihe's Jicui and Qicui infant formula milk powders won the "Award for Innovative Technology for Human Milk-friendly Formulas," the "Excellence Award for Infant Clinical Evidence-based Early Nutrition," and the "Award for Technological Innovation of Fresh Nutrition Ingredient Formulas," with formulas that deeply align with the physiological needs of infants and provide a scientific solution for early life nutrition; Feihe's formula rice flour platinum edition won the "Excellence Award for Fresh Formula Rice Flour for Infants and Young Children," creating a standard for supplementary food that is "more nutritious and fresher"; Feihe's iron-fortified whey protein nutritional powder received the "Excellent Product Award for Children's Active Immune Protein," providing reliable nutritional support to enhance children's immunity; Feihe's Aiben small molecule whey protein specialty meal powder series won the "Innovation Award for Muscle and Bone Health," using small molecule technology to improve nutrient absorption efficiency and accurately match the nutritional needs of specific populations. Additionally, Feihe's liquid whey protein received the "Award for Innovative Technology in Fresh Whey Protein Ingredients" with innovative fresh ingredients technology, becoming the only enterprise to win the award for innovative materials, showcasing Feihe's comprehensive innovative strength from core ingredients to products; Feihe's two products introduced in the Southeast Asian market, AceKid Plus Genugro Growing-up Formula and AceKid Optigrow Powdered Milk Drink, each won the "Award for Innovative Technology of Human Milk-friendly Formulas," and the "Award for Technological Innovation of Fresh Nutrition Ingredient Formulas," demonstrating Feihe's technological innovation in international products. "From the field of infant formula to the layout of comprehensive nutrition for all ages, Feihe has unique advantages in technology R&D system, independent production of raw materials, and past experience. This is also Feihe's corporate responsibility and mission," said Zhang Xuguang. The recognition of 10 awards at this summit marks the preliminary results of Feihe's transition from infant formula to the layout of comprehensive nutrition throughout the lifecycle and has been deeply recognized by international peers. Deepening functional nutrition technology innovation, shaping the global leading fresh strength of Chinese dairy companies During the summit, Dr. Zhang Yang, a senior researcher of Feihe, shared a theme report on "Innovation Strategy for Comprehensive Functional Nutrition throughout the Lifecycle," showcasing Feihe's research results and strategic layout in the field of comprehensive functional nutrition. At the same time, Feihe's exhibition of functional nutrition products not only received full recognition from the official conference, but also attracted high attention from attending experts, overseas media, and users. Within the Feihe booth, a large number of attendees stopped to learn and inquire, demonstrating the continued increase in recognition of Chinese brands in the international market. Behind the winning of international awards is Feihe's dedication to research and innovation for over 60 years, as well as the deep practice of its comprehensive nutrition strategy throughout the lifecycle. Feihe's long-term cultivation in areas such as industrial chain layout, technological innovation, process research and development, and quality management has created its leading technological strength and excellent product quality, injecting Chinese strength into the high-quality development of the global functional food industry. Feihe's winning of several awards in "fresh" technology is a result of its continuous breakthroughs in fresh nutrition. Over the past 20 years, as a leading company in the Chinese dairy industry, Feihe has led three "fresh revolution" in the dairy industry. In 2006, Feihe took the lead in implementing an integrated livestock system in the industry, achieving 100% self-control farms, 100% self-owned pastures and dairy cows, 100% self-produced fresh milk, and simultaneously establishing a "2-hour ecological circle" to create an independent, safe, and reliable supply system. From 2018 to 2022, Feihe led the establishment of the new technology standards of "fresh once-made into powder" in the infant formula industry to promote technological upgrades with quantifiable system standards. In 2025, Feihe became the first in the industry to achieve independent production capabilities of core protein raw materials such as whey protein, ensuring the freshness and nutrition of products from the source. Recently, Feihe introduced the industry's first fresh ingredient traceability system, which was first applied to the Jicui and Qicui new products. This system extends information to the upstream raw material production section of the supply chain for the first time, allowing consumers to scan the bottom of the new product can to view production dates, processes, and authoritative test reports of fresh self-produced raw materials such as whey protein, iron-fortified whey protein, and casein phosphopeptides, providing a "fully transparent" sample for the food industry. This system will be applied to more Feihe products in the future to provide consumers with safe and fresh product experiences. Currently, Feihe's whey protein fresh nutrition technology and advantages in the entire production chain have been fully applied to comprehensive functional nutrition products throughout the lifecycle. From infant formula milk powder to nourishing milk protein powder designed for children, and to the "small molecule whey protein specialty meal powder" developed for the health of middle-aged and elderly people, Feihe has built a scientific and nutritional product system covering the entire lifecycle. As the global functional food industry enters a new stage of development, Feihe will continue to deepen its research in comprehensive functional nutrition, use the entire production chain to guarantee safety, drive technological research and product innovation, promote the high-quality development of the Chinese functional food industry, and convey the strength and warmth of Chinese functional nutrition brands to the world.
