Due to sustained changes in market conditions, DSM Nutritional Products announces a worldwide price increase of premixes in its portfolio for use in Human applications.

All premix prices will increase by minimum 10% effective immediately for all newly contracted business.

This adjustment is driven by a combination of the increased cost of securing raw material supply, inflation and exchange rate developments over the last months.
