Mead Johnson Launches Enfinitas® in China

Premium offering features ingredients based on breakthrough science

GLENVIEW, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mead Johnson Nutrition Company (NYSE:MJN) today announced the launch of
its new Enfinitas premium-priced product line in China, which will be
rolling out in that market over the coming weeks.

“As noted previously, Mead Johnson continually strives to further
broaden our science-based product portfolio,” commented Kasper Jakobsen,
President and CEO. “We are pleased to be introducing Enfinitas and its
meaningful benefits to consumers in China in support of our mission to
help nourish the world’s children for the best start in life. Over time,
we expect this product to strengthen our competitiveness in the
fastest-growing segment of our category in China.”

Enfinitas adopts the very latest science and advanced technology in
infant nutrition and is inspired by Mead Johnson’s comprehensive global
research and findings in human milk. That research, which has
accelerated over the past five years, has been carried out in
cooperation with multiple authoritative scientific research institutions
in studies covering populations in Asia, Europe, North America and South
America.

Specifically customized for the China market and produced in the
Netherlands, this new formulation has undergone extensive research.
Enfinitas contains Lactoferrin and Milk Fat Globule Membrane (MFGM) –
both of which are naturally present in breast milk and known to provide
structural and functional benefits to infants. Together with the
company’s gold standard level of DHA, these critical components help
support brain development, immune system function and digestive health.

Additional information will be provided on the Mead Johnson Nutrition
2016 first quarter earnings conference call.
