Why we started

You should know exactly what’s in your child’s glass. So we print all of it.

Before buying a children’s drink, a parent should be able to answer four simple questions from the pack alone. We built ours so that every answer is written on it.

  1. iWhere is the milk from? Victoria’s Great Ocean Road, Australia.

    Australian organic A2 protein milk from grass-fed cows, on certified-organic farms.

  2. iiWho chose it?
    Peter Skene Peter Skene, Australian dairy expert.

    Four decades in the industry. He chose the milk, and checks the paddock, the parlour and the drier.

All four answers are printed on the carton.
  1. iiiHow is it made? Dried once, from fresh milk.

    Then blended, filled and sealed in Australia. Nothing is re-blended or repacked in India.

  2. ivHow much of each thing is inside? Every amount, printed.

    Each vitamin and mineral, the DHA and the sugar in grams. Nothing hidden in a “proprietary blend”.

How does your child’s drink compare? Ask its pack the same questions.

Fetch the chocolate or malt powder you use now and turn it over. Answer five yes-or-no questions from its label; our answer, from our own pack, is under each one. No sign-up. You keep the score.

You’re not comparing taste or price. Only this: what does each pack tell you, in writing?No tin to hand? Use the last one you bought, or the back-of-pack photo on any shopping site.

  1. Is milk the first ingredient?

    Look at the ingredients list. The first word is what there is most of.

    Ours: Australian organic A2 protein milk from grass-fed cows.

  2. Is the added sugar printed in grams?

    Look at the nutrition table. Find a line for added sugars with a number in grams.

    Ours: a little Australian cane sugar, the only sweetener. Grams on the pack.

  3. Is every vitamin and mineral named, with its amount?

    Look at the nutrition table. Is there an amount beside each one, or only a list of names?

    Ours: every one named, every amount printed, set against India’s ICMR-NIN values for ages 4–6 and 7–9.

  4. Does it say where the milk came from?

    Look at the back and side panels. A country or region counts. “Milk solids” on its own doesn’t.

    Ours: Australian organic A2 protein milk from grass-fed cows, from the Great Ocean Road region of Victoria. Dried once, from fresh.

  5. Does it leave out promises about height, brains or growth?

    Look at the front and back. Words like taller, stronger, sharper or growth are promises. Tap Yes if there are none.

    Ours: we don’t make growth, height or brain promises. We print what’s in the glass.

Chapter I

It begins on the Great Ocean Road.

Our first ingredient is Australian organic A2 protein milk from grass-fed cows — whole milk, naturally rich in A2 protein, from certified-organic farms in Victoria's Great Ocean Road region.

It is blended, filled and packed in Australia at a licensed, export-registered dairy facility. Nothing is re-blended or repacked in India.

A2 protein is the A2 form of the milk protein beta-casein. It is a fact about the milk, not a health claim: This drink is not lactose-free, and it is not for a child with a diagnosed milk allergy.

Certified-organic, grass-fed farms · whole milk · blended, filled and packed in Australia

Organic here means the farms — pasture, herd and milk — are certified organic in Australia. The finished sachet is not certified organic, because the vitamins, minerals and DHA we add are not. We would rather tell you that than imply it.

Chapter II

Dried once. Not twice.

Every milk powder starts as fresh milk. The difference is how many times it’s turned into powder before it reaches your child.

You already know this from juice. There’s freshly squeezed, and there’s “made from concentrate”: dried down, stored, shipped, then made up again somewhere else.Milk powder can be made either way. Ours is the freshly squeezed kind.

2dryings

Not every powder is made the second way, and a tin may not tell you which. So we’re telling you ours.

What drying does

It takes out the water. Some heat-sensitive vitamins fall a little in any drying, which is why ours are added afterwards, and measured.

Why once matters

One drying, from fresh, means the milk in the sachet is the milk from those herds. Not powder bought in from a source no one can name, and never rebuilt from old powder.

How to check yours

Go back to your tin. Does it say where its milk came from, and how it was made? Ours: whole Australian milk, naturally rich in A2 protein, from certified-organic, grass-fed farms on Victoria’s Great Ocean Road — dried once, from fresh.

Our job wasn’t to improve the milk. It was to not ruin it.

Chapter III

Designed by Peter SkeneAustralian dairy expertfour decades in the industry

He made milk fit for babies. Now he’s made it for your child.

For a decade, he made the milk from these farms fit for infant formula. For Carrington & Finch he chose the same farms, the milk and the drier, then designed the recipe around them. Every decision on the way to this glass went past him.

I have stood in a lot of paddocks. This is the kind I was looking for.

Questions parents ask

What is it, exactly?

A premium Kids A2 Protein nutrition drink for children aged 4 to 9, made in Australia. The first ingredient is Australian organic A2 protein milk from grass-fed cows, dried once; to it we add whey protein, real cocoa, a little cane sugar, real vanilla, vegetarian DHA, a probiotic culture, and thirteen vitamins and seven minerals, each measured and printed on the pack. One 25 g sachet in 180 mL warm water is the glass; one a day.

How much sugar is in it?

A little Australian cane sugar, the only sweetener, plus the lactose naturally in milk. The exact figure is printed on the pack. No artificial sweeteners, no artificial flavours — Australian cane sugar and real vanilla.

Will it make my child taller or smarter?

We don't make that claim. Indian law requires proof before anyone claims an outcome for a child — and we have none. We tell you what is in each sachet, with its amount.

Is it vegetarian?

Yes. The DHA comes from algae, not fish. Vitamin D3 is derived from lanolin, which makes it vegetarian but not vegan. Contains milk.

How is it tested?

Every batch is independently tested for safety — microbiology and heavy metals — before it is released. The full nutrient panel is run on the first production run and at set intervals, and we print only what the lab confirms.
