UAE company turns camel milk into baby formula

Utilizing the health benefits of camel milk, a UAE-based company has recently announced the launch of its newest product: Camel milk-based baby formula. Camelicious was founded in 2006, and has expanded to produce more than 40 camel milk-based products, including energy drinks, powder milk, and ice cream. The firm says the newly-developed baby formula is the first of its kind worldwide, with production expected to start in June. Studies show that camel milk is almost as nutritious as human breast milk and offers 10 times more iron and three times more vitamin C than cow's milk. Camel milk has been a staple for desert Arab nomads for generations. However its boom in modern day food and beverage industries in the UAE adds a new level to its commerciality.
