New Zealand’s LittleOak Company has released its Natural Goat Milk Toddler Drink in a sachet format in the United States, a first for the market. The company expanded into the country in February, with a California-based packaging and shipping operation.

Just like their 28oz tins, LittleOak’s From Fresh sachets are made in New Zealand from fresh whole goat milk, using their award-winning From Fresh processing approach. The world’s first toddler milk to be certified 100 per cent Palm Oil Free by the POFCAP, LittleOak is made with the natural goodness and lower lactose levels of goat milk, providing a next-generation alternative to traditional toddler drinks for American families.

LittleOak’s single-serve sachets provide parents with the natural nutrition in a format specifically developed for the fast-paced demands of family life. The all-natural goat milk is conveniently packaged in the correct portion sizes, a new concept in the US infant nutrition category.

LittleOak founder and CEO, Elke Pascoe, said life can be incredibly busy for parents and carers and, as a mom of three, she understands the importance of convenient feeding options.

“No matter where our LittleOak moms and dads are, or what's on their to-do lists, our sachets ensure that wholesome, natural nutrition is always achievable,” said Pascoe.

“We specifically designed our From Fresh range of sachets to meet the needs of modern parents. Gone are the days of scooping out the milk powder and adding it to a plastic bag or separate container. Parents can simply add the sachet contents to a bottle or sippy cup of water, shake and feed. They are a perfect addition to your diaper bag, daycare bag or even the pram.”

“At this critical time of growth and development, our Toddler Drink can provide some of the crucial nutrients – in particular, iron and magnesium – that many toddlers don’t get as a result of picky eating,” said Pascoe.

Rich in vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, iron and taurine, goat milk naturally contains the A2 protein, along with naturally occurring prebiotics and lower levels of lactose. This results in less allergies and digestive stress for young children.

LittleOak is available in the US in Stage 3 (1-4 years) and can be purchased from www.thelittleoakcompany.com, Fresh Thyme and Thrive Market.
