Ovomaltine Flocos Crocantes

Ovomaltine (internationally known in English-speaking markets as Ovaltine) was originally developed in Bern, Switzerland, in 1904 by chemist Albert Wander. The brand is renowned for its malt-extract-based nutrition powder, designed to be mixed with milk.

Today, the global rights to Ovomaltine and Ovaltine are split geographically. In 2002, British multinational food processing company Associated British Foods (ABF) acquired the brand rights across most of the world, including Europe, Latin America, and Asia (with Nestlé owning rights in the United States). In Brazil, where this specific 'Flocos Crocantes' formulation is manufactured and wildly popular, Ovomaltine is produced locally under AB Foods Brasil Nutrição e Saúde Ltda., a subsidiary of Associated British Foods plc based in London, United Kingdom.
