Based in Bordeaux since 1962, Vitagermine specializes in the design, manufacture and marketing of organic food products for the whole family. In 1995, the company refocused its business on certified organic products, designing the first organic infant milk in France.

This organic food brand for children and adults offers products under 2 flagship brands: Babybio, an organic food range for babies aged 0 to 3, and Vitabio, an organic food range for children over 3 and adults (fruit juices, smoothies, fruit purées, cereal bars, etc.). It also owns the KaliBio (for children) and Vitasport (for athletes) brands.

On the French market, as well as internationally, Vitagermine is deploying its communication strategy around origins: apples from Aquitaine, carrots from the Landes region and farm-raised veal from Aquitaine are all promoted on the front of its packaging
