On 1 June 2022, Joe Biden, president of the USA, reportedly announced that his administration had sourced two flights to transport Bubs infant formulas from Australia to California and Pennsylvania. The flights are facilitated by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Bubs Australia and the US government have been working closely after the Food and Drug Administration said that the agency is using its enforcement discretion. This paved the way for Bubs to export infant formula.
The present delivery includes 380,000 pounds of Bubs' baby formula. The six products to be exported are
- Bubs Organic Infant Formula S1
- Bubs Organic Follow On Formula S2
- Bubs Supreme Infant Formula
- Supreme Follow On Formula
