Else Nutrition Applauds U.S. Government's Historic Shift in Infant Formula Rules, Unlocking Path to Commercialize the World's First Whole-Food, Dairy-Free Infant Formula
7:30 AM ET 6/10/25 | Dow Jones
Else Nutrition Welcomes 3 Major Federal Developments that Could Unlock Market Access & Open the Door to the First Major Breakthrough in Infant Formula in Decades
VANCOUVER, BC, June 10, 2025 /CNW/ - ELSE NUTRITION HOLDINGS INC. (TSX: BABY) (OTCQX: BABYF) (FSE: 0YL.F) ("Else" or the "Company"), a global leader in clean label, plant-based childhood nutrition, welcomes a recent trio of significant policy signals from the U.S. Government that could reshape the nation's infant formula landscape.
These developments - spanning FDA regulatory reform, Congressional oversight, and executive action - reflect growing national momentum to modernize outdated regulations and expand consumer choice in baby formula.
National Academy Report Supports Smarter Science, Aligns with Else's Regulatory Approach
In a move that could have broad implications for new formula entrants, the FDA commissioned a National Academy of Sciences study to examine global regulatory standards for infant formula - particularly focusing on the outdated Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) study, which had long served as a barrier for plant-based options like Else's.
The newly released study recommends replacing the outdated PER test with modern, evidence-based alternatives that better reflect international norms and nutritional science. This marks a turning point for Else, whose regulatory strategy has been built around these same more progressive standards.
"We are encouraged by the Academy's findings and look forward to these recommendations informing forthcoming FDA guidance," said Hamutal Yitzhak, CEO & Co-Founder, Else Nutrition.
Congressional Pressure Grows for Modernized Plant-Based Infant Formula Pathway
In parallel, Else Nutrition welcomes mounting attention to infant formula policy from the United States Congress. Earlier this year, top Republican Appropriators - a Members of a powerful Committee in Congress that maintains the "Power of the Purse" - sent a formal Congressional Oversight letter to the agency, urging the FDA to create a clear, modernized regulatory pathway for plant-based infant formula that matches the international standard. Congress' intent reflects a shared perspective that the National Academy study unveiled.
This rare Congressional intervention emphasizes the urgency of reform and calls for U.S. policy to upgrade to international standards that already embrace plant-based options. It also signals the potential for future Congressional action to reinforce the need for change and hold the FDA accountable.
"Congressional Appropriators are sending a strong signal that American parents deserve safe, vetted plant-based alternatives, and that companies like Else deserve a fair, science-aligned path to market, with regulatory guidance to match," added Ms. Yitzhak.
Administration Launches 'Operation Stork Speed' to Cut Red Tape
Furthering the support is the Administration's new initiative, Operation Stork Speed, aimed at accelerating access to infant formula by streamlining regulatory processes and clearing bureaucratic roadblocks. The program is expected to fast-track FDA reforms while ensuring safety and nutritional integrity.
Else Nutrition looks forward to engaging directly with the Administration to help shape a smarter, more inclusive infant formula future.
A New Era of Opportunity for Infant Nutrition
Together, these three developments - scientific, legislative, and executive - signal a generational shift in how the U.S. regulates and supports infant nutrition. For Else Nutrition, they offer renewed confidence that the path forward is finally being cleared. This initiative is a direct complement to the Congressional attention and the National Academy study, and Else looks forward to collaborating with the Administration.
"These reforms aren't just good for Else - they're good for every parent seeking cleaner, safer, baby formula options beyond dairy," said Ms. Yitzhak. "We continually get requests from so many families in real need of finding an alternative beyond dairy-based baby formula. We're proud to be at the forefront of this movement for change and are ready to serve American families with the trusted nutrition they deserve."

1:12 PM ET 6/2/25 | Dow Jones

VANCOUVER, BC, June 2, 2025 /CNW/ - ELSE NUTRITION HOLDINGS INC. (TSX: BABY) (OTCQX: BABYF) (FSE: 0YL.F) ("Else" or the "Company"), reported financial results for the 2024 fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The financial statements and MD&A are available on SEDAR under the Company's profile.
"2024 was a defining year for Else Nutrition, marked by significant challenges that ultimately led to pivotal decisions shaping our future," commented Hamutal Yitzhak, CEO & Co-Founder of Else Nutrition. "While we encountered major headwinds, including funding constraints, inventory shortages, and a limited marketing budget, we took decisive actions to secure our future. Specifically, we optimized operations, significantly reduced overhead costs, and secured essential funding. We also streamlined our cost structure by cutting underperforming roles, reducing low-ROI marketing spend, and exiting unprofitable retail partnerships. In addition, we restructured R&D operations, including the closure of our Israel lab, to preserve innovation capacity while improving financial performance. Furthermore, we plan to expand our manufacturing and prepare our powder formula in Europe, which will lower production costs, improve margins, and enhance product quality."
"Despite our challenges, we made important progress including successfully launching our first Adult Ready-to-Drink (RTD) product, expanding retail placement for our Kids RTD product, and increasing our presence in the U.S. through e-commerce platforms. These milestones reflect the growing demand for plant-based, allergen-friendly nutrition, and we intend to capitalize on these opportunities."
"On the regulatory front, we are encouraged by the FDA and HHS's launch of Operation Stork Speed, an initiative aimed at expanding infant formula options and strengthening supply chain resilience. Through our continued bipartisan advocacy efforts, we aim to make significant progress toward modernizing FDA guidelines for plant-based, non-soy, non-dairy infant formula. We look forward to working closely with regulators to establish a clear pathway, ensuring that parents have access to safe, high-quality, and scientifically backed nutrition alternatives."
"Furthermore, we were recently featured in an op-ed published in The Washington Times, titled "Operation Stork Speed will ensure babies get the nutrition they need." The piece highlights the importance of accelerating access to clean-label, plant-based alternatives and aligns with our broader mission and ongoing advocacy efforts in Washington to promote science-backed updates to infant nutrition guidelines."
"Looking ahead to 2025, we are focused on expanding our retail distribution, scaling our European production, and enhancing brand visibility through targeted marketing and strategic partnerships. With a solid foundation in place, Else Nutrition is well-positioned for long-term growth, and we remain committed to delivering clean-label, plant-based nutrition solutions that meet the needs of families worldwide."

(PR) Else Nutrition CEO Highlights Urgent Need for Infant Formula Alternatives in The Washington Times Op-Ed
7:30 AM ET 5/28/25 | PR Newswire
VANCOUVER, BC, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - ELSE NUTRITION HOLDINGS INC. (TSX: BABY) (OTCQX: BABYF) (FSE: 0YL) ("Else" or the "Company"), a pioneer in wholefood, Plant-Based nutrition for babies, toddlers, children and adults, is pleased to announce that its CEO and Co-Founder, Hamutal Yitzhak, authored a featured op-ed published in The Washington Times on May 25, 2025. Titled "Operation Stork Speed will ensure babies get the nutrition they need," the piece highlights the urgent need to modernize the infant formula regulatory environment and emphasizes the importance of increasing access to safe and innovative nutrition options--particularly for infants with dietary restrictions or allergen sensitivities. The Washington Times has a substantial readership in Washington, D.C., particularly among Congress and the Administration.
"Our mission has always been to deliver a safe, plant-based infant formula that supports healthy development and gives families--especially those with dietary or dairy/soy allergen concerns--greater access to trusted nutrition," said Hamutal Yitzhak, CEO and Co-Founder of Else Nutrition. "Operation Stork Speed is an excellent initiative designed to expand access to these types of formulas, and as noted in the Washington Times op-ed, we look forward to continuing to collaborate with the White House, policymakers, and the FDA as we look to bring our unique solution to market in a swift and responsible manner."
Regulatory Pathway and Status
Else Nutrition has developed a clean-label, whole plant-based infant formula intended as an alternative to dairy- and soy-based products. In 2023, the Company successfully concluded the pre-clinical studies required and received Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for its infant growth clinical study protocol--marking a key step toward U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) compliance. At present, the Company is awaiting final authorization from the FDA to initiate its clinical trial in the United States, pending regulatory modernization that the company believes may be accelerated through Operation Stork Speed. Several Congressional Appropriators recently called on the FDA to accelerate this effort, as directed through an oversight letter.
Policy Advocacy and Operation Stork Speed
The op-ed coincides with the recent launch of Operation Stork Speed, an initiative by the Trump administration and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., aimed at improving the regulatory review and safety of infant formula in the United States as well as encouraging innovation and transparency in formula composition to serve unmet needs. Ms. Yitzhak's commentary lends industry perspective to this national conversation and urges regulatory authorities to accelerate the path to market for scientifically supported, non-traditional formula options.
Else Nutrition is actively engaged in this effort through direct outreach to policymakers, bipartisan advocacy on Capitol Hill, and consumer education. The Company continues to advocate for updated infant formula guidelines that recognize the validity and safety of plant-based, non-soy, allergen-friendly alternatives.

Else Nutrition Launches 'Formula for Change' Campaign, Building on Momentum from Operation Stork Speed to Deliver Real Choice for American Families
PR Newswire
VANCOUVER, BC, April 23, 2025
A Bold Step Toward Inclusion: Else Nutrition Aims to Deliver a Real Alternative for Millions of Babies Who Can't Tolerate Dairy-Based Formula
VANCOUVER, BC, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - ELSE NUTRITION HOLDINGS INC. (TSX: BABY) (OTCQX: BABYF) (FSE: 0YL.F) ("Else" or the "Company"), a global leader in clean-label, plant-based childhood nutrition, is launching a bold new advocacy campaign--'Formula for Change'--to accelerate U.S. regulatory support for clinical trials of its breakthrough dairy-free, soy-free infant formula.
This initiative builds on the positive momentum of Operation Stork Speed, a recent federal effort to fast-track next-generation infant formula development. Else Nutrition applauds this long-overdue modernization effort and urges the FDA to take the next step by opening innovative regulatory pathways for clinical trials of Else's infant formula. This will help ensure American families finally gain access to a safe, inclusive, and science-backed alternative to traditional dairy-based formulas.
"We're inspired by Operation Stork Speed," said Hamutal Yitzhak, CEO & Co-Founder of Else Nutrition. "It signals a shift toward innovation and inclusivity in infant nutrition. Now we're calling on the FDA and U.S. representatives to act on this progress and greenlight clinical trials that will allow us to bring our transformational option to families who've waited too long."
The First Real Innovation in a Generation
For decades, U.S. parents have had just two options: dairy or soy. But countless babies are unable to tolerate either. Families making plant-based lifestyle choices have similarly been left without viable options. Else Nutrition has developed the world's first infant formula based on whole plant ingredients, including almonds and buckwheat--free from dairy, soy, and ultra-processed ingredients. Already gaining international traction, the formula mirrors the nutritional benefits and profile of human milk and holds the Clean Label Project Purity Award for exceptional safety.
Pushing Forward with Progress - Not Hitting a Wall
While the product is already available abroad, outdated U.S. regulations currently prevent Else from initiating clinical trials required for infant formula approval. The Company sees Operation Stork Speed as a meaningful foundation to modernize these outdated systems and believes the time is ripe for inclusion of Plant-Based innovation in these efforts.
"We've already heard from thousands of U.S. families about how our toddler formula changed their children's lives," said Yitzhak. "Operation Stork Speed gives us hope--but hope needs action. Modernizing regulatory pathways is the crucial next step to enable innovation for the babies who need it most."
Why Else Nutrition Supports Operation Stork Speed
Else Nutrition is actively seeking inclusion in Operation Stork Speed to help close a dangerous gap in infant nutrition:
-- U.S. regulations lag behind Europe, Canada, and Australia.
-- Many U.S. formulas contain toxic metals or synthetic additives.
-- Four companies control the market, creating vulnerability and limiting
innovation.
-- The 2022--2023 formula shortage crisis exposed deep systemic weaknesses.
Operation Stork Speed seeks to address these issues by encouraging innovation--and Else's formula represents exactly the kind of science-driven, next-generation product this program is designed to support.
Join the Movement: Demand Real Choice
Else Nutrition is mobilizing parents, pediatric professionals, and policymakers to advocate for inclusive, evidence-based nutrition. With public support and FDA cooperation, the Company can launch clinical trials and bring its formula to American shelves.
Here's how you can help drive the Formula for Change:
1. Email your Member of Congress to urge FDA action on modern regulatory
pathways.
2. Sign the petition on Change.org to amplify the public voice.
3. Pledge your support--$25, $50, or $100--to help Else advance clinical
readiness.

Else Nutrition Commends HHS & FDA's Operation Stork Speed on Expanding Infant Formula Options
PR Newswire
VANCOUVER, BC, March 20, 2025
HHS/FDA Announcement Bolsters Else Nutrition's Momentum in Bringing its Infant Formula to Market in the United States
VANCOUVER, BC, March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - ELSE NUTRITION HOLDINGS INC. (BABY) (BABYF) (0YL.F) ("Else" or the "Company"), applauds the leadership of Secretary Robert F. Kennedy in launching Operation Stork Speed, a strategic initiative by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) aimed at expanding infant formula options. This effort demonstrates the importance of nutritional adequacy and supply chain resilience while facilitating the development of new infant formulas within the United States.
As part of its commitment to bringing the first whole food, minimally processed, clean-label, plant-based infant formula to American families, Else Nutrition has been actively engaged in a robust Washington D.C. effort through its U.S. office. This includes hiring a leading healthcare lobbying firm, conducting bipartisan Congressional meetings across both chambers, and preparing to launch a grassroots lobbying program. To date, this effort has resulted in significant Congressional oversight on modernized FDA guidance on plant-based, non-soy, non-dairy infant formula options--an essential step for Else Nutrition to conduct key clinical trials in the U.S.
In January 2025, the FDA released their Long-Term National Strategy to Increase the Resiliency of the U.S. Infant Formula Market, which followed the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine also recently convening a study on these issues. This week's announcement of Operation Stork Speed is another significant step from HHS in ensuring access to safe, high quality infant formulas.
"At Else Nutrition, we are dedicated to ensuring that families across America have access to safe, high-quality, minimally processed plant-based nutrition options," said Hamutal Yitzhak, CEO & Co-Founder of Else Nutrition. "Many infants with medical, dietary or dietary needs require such formulas. Congress has taken significant action to ensure access to these formulas and we are pleased to see the Administration continue this most important work. We applaud President Trump and Secretary Robert F. Kennedy for their leadership in launching Operation Stork Speed and look forward to collaborating with HHS and the FDA to create a modernized regulatory pathway for plant-based, non-soy, non-dairy infant formulas. By combining rigorous science with the power of natural ingredients like almonds, buckwheat, and tapioca, we are redefining early childhood nutrition to be healthier, more sustainable, and more accessible to parents seeking clean-label alternatives."
