[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Lotte Foods announced on the 3rd that it will support all infant foods and weaning foods needed for the family of quintuplets born in Korea for the first time in 34 years.

On the 2nd, Lotte Foods delivered Pasteur With Mom C-Section Infant Food, I Saenggak Weaning Food, Pasteur Baby Probiotics, and a birth congratulatory gift set including baby clothes to Captain Seo Hyejeong and Captain Kim Jinsu, the couple who gave birth to the quintuplets, promising future support. With support worth about 10 million won, Lotte Foods plans to provide all infant foods and weaning foods needed until the children finish breastfeeding.

The Pasteur With Mom C-Section Infant Food provided to the quintuplets contains Bifidobacterium longum probiotics, which are abundant in the healthy intestines of naturally born infants, and is expected to help the healthy growth of the quintuplets born by cesarean section.

Lotte Foods and the Army Headquarters signed a business agreement in July to expand support for childbirth welfare in the army. This is to overcome the world's lowest birth rate and contribute to boosting the morale of army soldiers dedicated to national defense by providing free Pasteur infant food and product discounts to army families. So far, they have supported about 900 army families with over 2,300 cans of Pasteur infant food, and plan to continue expanding various support projects to maintain their cooperative relationship.

A Lotte Foods official said, "In these days of low birth rates, we are happy to contribute to this great national event," adding, "We will take responsibility for supporting the highest quality infant food so that the quintuplets can grow up healthy."
