DUBAI: A UAE-based company has unveiled what it calls the world’s first camel-based baby formula, an instant powder mix aimed mainly at infants allergic to cow’s milk.

The Emirates Industry for Camel Milk & Products, or ‘Camelicious’, on Monday unveiled the product at Gulfood 2018, an international food and beverage trade event which runs from February 18 to 22 in Dubai.

Health Hazard: Govt to act over adulterated milk


The milk, which it says is suitable for children ages one to three, primarily targets infants allergic to cow’s milk.

Camel milk for centuries was a staple for Bedouin peoples across the Gulf, who continue to include the vitamin-rich milk in their modern-day diets.

Both camel milk and meat have gained popularity as a delicatessen in the Gulf in recent years, with camel chocolates, camel carpaccio, camel burgers and now camel baby formula making their way into restaurants and kitchens.

The company calls its latest product “the world’s first instant baby milk processed from camel milk.”

Creating awareness: Book on packaged milk history launched

“Camel milk represents an integral part of the Arabic and Islamic culture in general and the UAE culture and heritage in particular,” said Camelicious general manager Saeed Juma Bin Subaih.

“This milk is genuinely complements the UAE values and traditions that are handed down from one generation to another”.

You sure have urine filled in ur head and that too of ur own. Camel milk and meat are considered some of the best inthe world. I am personally not a fan of either camel milk nor meat but milk tastes really fine.

Also camel milk chocolates are sold around the world considered some of the yummiest chocolates.

Donkey milk? Really? Never heard that

But it should be ensured if its good for kids cause goat milk is usually considered best for babies as its very light n babies could digest it. So if camel milk isnt too good for babies then they shouldnt introduce just to promote the industry otherwise for adults consumers the camel dairy industry i am sure is pretty big and thriving.

Donkey and Goat milk is used in India too. Especially given to babies who may have not started speaking yet. People believe that it would expedite the babies to start speaking.
