Profile
Nutricia North America is part of Royal Numico N.V., a global leader
in infant and clinical nutrition. The clinical division of the
company specializes in the manufacture, marketing and distribution
of medical foods and infant formulas for the dietary management
of rare genetic, metabolic, allergic, gastrointestinal and neurological
disorders.
Nutricia North America, initially known as SHS North America,
was established in the United States in 1983. The company is located
on the Human Genome Sciences Campus just outside Washington, D.C.
The Nutricia team is known for setting the standard in the delivery
of quality products and educational materials for consumers and
healthcare professionals.
The Nutricia product line consists of a wide variety of FDA and
Health Canada approved products used in the management of inherited
metabolic diseases, severe allergic and gastrointestinal disorders
as well as other conditions requiring nutritional therapy.
Nutricia was the first to create amino acid-based, hypoallergenic
formulas (the Neocate product line) for the dietary management
of cow milk protein allergy. The company has played a prominent
role in educating the medical community through clinical trials
and symposia on cow milk allergy and its associated enteropathies.
Nutricia has recently diversified its product range by offering
products specifically designed for intractable epilepsy—available
under the brand name KetoCal—and innovative options for patients
with phenylketonuria. For a full listing and detailed information

While the demand for clinical nutrition as a medical therapy continues
to expand, Nutricia works in close partnership with leading physicians
and dietitians to identify patient needs. Part of Royal Numico,
Nutricia's reputation continues to grow as an innovator in research
and development, thereby meeting the demands of today's patients
and the medical community.
