BioGaia AB, Stockholm, Sweden, has signed a distribution agreement with a French company giving them the right to use BioGaia’s patented screw cap LifeTop Cap, containing amongst other ingredients BioGaia’s health-promoting bacteria Reuteri®, in France and Belgium.

The cap has been patented by BioGaia in all key markets worldwide and is manufactured by the 50%-owned packaging company TwoPac AB, Eslöv, Sweden. The LifeTop Cap allows protected storage of probiotic cultures but is equally suitable for other sensitive ingredients such as vitamins and minerals and can also be used for flavors and colorings.
