New Zealand Maui Food Group highlighted the immune response benefits of its sheep milk and new Balance+ products at the 7th China International Import Expo, marking its seventh consecutive year of participation. Notable attendees included New Zealand’s Trade Minister, Hon Todd McClay, Minister for Trade, Agriculture, Forestry, Hunting and Fishing, and Ambassador H.E. Grahame Morton, New Zealand Ambassador to China, who presented Maui Milk with a certificate of recognition for the immune benefits of its sheep milk. This recognition was based on a year-long study conducted in collaboration with White Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

The study examined key immune response indicators in zebrafish, demonstrating the effectiveness of sheep milk in enhancing immunity. This research underscores Maui’s leadership in the sheep milk industry and highlights its innovative approach to health and nutrition.

In response to the growing consumer demand for healthy lifestyles, Maui introduced its Balance+ range, which includes skimmed, high-protein, and lactose-free sheep milk powders designed for weight management, fitness, and lactose intolerance. These products, sourced from Maui’s “Southern Cross®” dairy sheep, aim to provide balanced nutrition for families worldwide, reinforcing Maui’s commitment to health and quality in the sheep milk sector.
