Mellin’s Food was created in 1866 by English chemist Gustav Mellin. It debuted in the U.S. in 1874 through Theodore Metcalf & Co., a Boston-based pharmaceutical company. By 1877, the food formula was regularly supplied in Europe and North America. By 1890, it became a popular milk powder developed in England and manufactured in Boston, with availability in India as well.
