11/02/05 Mead Johnson Nutritionals is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2005. The company, recognized around the world as a leader in pediatric nutrition, looks to build on its rich heritage of providing mothers with nutritious products for their babies.
Mead Johnson Nutritionals has a history that is distinguished by its proven dedication to science-based nutrition solutions for infants and mothers. The company has a long list of innovations that are designed to help infants and children achieve the best possible start in life. Some of Mead Johnson's more notable product firsts include:
Dextri-Maltose, the first clinically-supported, physician-recommended infant feeding in the U.S., Pablum, the first fortified, instant cereal, Metrecal, the first measured calorie dietary product, ProSobee, the first soy-isolate infant formula, and most recently, Enfamil LIPIL with Iron, the first infant formula in the United States to include DHA and ARA*.
Mead Johnson is headquartered in Evansville, Indiana. With over 4,500 employees around the world, the company markets over 70 products in more than 60 countries in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
In addition to celebrating the Company's centennial, 2005 will also mark the 25th anniversary of the Bristol-Myers Squibb/Mead Johnson Freedom to Discover(TM) Unrestricted Nutrition Grants and Awards Program. Since its inception in 1980, the Freedom to Discover program has awarded more than $15 million in unrestricted grants to the world's leading institutions involved in nutrition research. To mark this occasion, a special scientific nutritional symposium will be held later this year bringing together a cadre of the world's leading researchers in pediatric gastroenterology.
