Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group (AHF.AX) said on Thursday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration did not accept its request for faster approval to sell the dairy company’s brand-name infant formula in the country.
Since May, when baby food ran out all over the U.S., dairy companies in Australia and New Zealand have been waiting in line to get the approvals they need.
The FDA’s temporary approval process was only available until November 14, but the dairy company can now apply for registration through the normal process to sell the infant milk formula products, it said.
“We are getting ready to launch our stage 3 toddler milk in the United States next year,” it said.
This month, the New Zealand company a2 Milk Co (ATM.NZ) got permission to send infant milk formula to the United States.
