BEIJING, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As the number of allergy-prone infants continues to climb globally, how to provide them with safe, nutritious, and reliable dietary support has become a pressing public health issue. Recently, at the "Scientific Care, Shared Growth" public welfare advocacy event and the consensus conference on the "Technical requirements for nutritional formula foods free from common allergens," Witsbb, as a public welfare supporter, demonstrated its commitment to promoting standardized industry development and reflected the brand's professional dedication that goes beyond commercial interests.
The meeting was hosted by China Quality Supervision Magazine, co-organized by the HSIPA, and received public welfare support from Tmall Global and Witsbb. Bringing together multiple stakeholders, the conference aimed to launch a group standard and establish a dialogue platform for advancing scientific awareness of allergy parenting and promoting industry standardization.
As a brand dedicated to the field of allergy-aware parenting, Sid, the Brand Director of Witsbb, shared the brand's practices and explorations. Ensuring the dietary safety of allergy-prone infants is the bottom line, as even trace cross-contamination can pose risks. To this end, Witsbb has established a comprehensive end-to-end safety system covering "source-production-testing-delivery." From raw material screening and pharmaceutical-grade production environments to over 100 allergen-free tests on finished products, the brand drives advancements in industry processes and standards through safety.
The brand's "Allergen-Free 100+" transparent list not only avoids the eight common allergens but also proactively excludes over 100 potential allergenic substances. By implementing end-to-end allergen control, it reflects a deep understanding of the anxieties faced by families with allergy-prone children and demonstrates the brand's strong sense of responsibility.
Witsbb has also actively participated in the co-development of the group standard "Technical requirements for nutritional formula foods free from common allergens" Sid emphasized that the value of a group standard lies not in proving who is "better," but in helping the industry clarify the boundaries of management and communication, thereby guiding its development in a more focused and systematic manner. The brand hopes to work with all stakeholders to build consensus and define clear boundaries.
As exemplified by brands like Witsbb, which are grounded in science and driven by care, commercial value and social responsibility are resonating in harmony on the path to addressing public health challenges and providing meaningful support to vulnerable groups.

Enabling scalable, data-center compatible quantum systems for real-world deployment
ENSCHEDE, Netherlands and HSINCHU, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- QuiX Quantum, a leading provider of photonic quantum computing hardware, and Artilux, a developer of advanced semiconductor-based photonic detector technologies, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
This agreement builds on the companies' complementary strengths in photonic system design and their positions within the broader semiconductor ecosystem. The collaboration is aimed at strengthening hardware integration, improving manufacturability, and lowering operational energy requirements in photonic quantum computing systems.
Building quantum hardware for practical environments
As quantum computing matures into real-world applications, operating efficiently beyond specialized laboratory environments is becoming increasingly critical. The collaboration focuses on integrating advanced detector components more closely within photonic quantum hardware, enabling meaningful reductions in infrastructure demands. This direction contributes to quantum computing hardware that is increasingly compatible with modern data-center environments and designed with deployability and total cost of ownership in mind.
Integration, scalability, and energy efficiency
By combining Artilux's expertise on germanium silicon (GeSi) photonic technology with QuiX Quantum's system-level photonic quantum computing development, the collaboration seeks to simplify system architecture and reduce detector-level cooling requirements and support infrastructure. This approach improves overall manufacturability and supports QuiX Quantum's objective of delivering high-performance photonic quantum computing hardware in Data Centers and HPC infrastructure, enabling scaling with industry needs.
