Resupply update
Due to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 on global supply chains Nutricia has advised there will be issues with some special foods products throughout the first half of 2022.
Nutricia continue to closely monitor stock and continue to air freight stock to cover any supply gaps.
Please continue to order stock without stockpiling to ensure equitable access for all New Zealanders while buffer stocks are built up over the coming months.
Information for prescribers
Please do not make prescriptions brand and/or flavour specific. This will allow flexibility for pharmacists when dispensing.
