Bubs work to export over 1.25 million tins of Bubs infant formula to the US as part of the Biden administration’s “Operation Fly Formula” was noted in a statement from trade minister Don Farrell.

“Bubs Australia grew from a Sydney kitchen in 2006, to a leading exporter of organic formula, toddler milks, baby foods and snacks to 10 export markets, including China, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and the US,” added Farrell.
