The export licence of Camperdown Powder, which is majority owned by Bellamy's Organic, has been reinstated.

The lifted suspension will allow Bellamy's to ship its infant formula to China next year using Camperdown's Certification Accreditation Administration of the People’s Republic of China (CNCA) licence.

Bellamy’s Organic acquired 90 per cent of Camperdown Powder from Camperdown Dairy International in July, the same month that Chinese authorities suspended the Camperdown Powder's licence, reportedly after an anonymous complaint.

Bellamy’s said it had “diligently responded to all requests and queries on behalf of the CNCA and worked, with the assistance of Australian officials, through the process as stipulated by the Chinese authorities”.

“We are pleased that Camperdown’s suspended registration has today been lifted. Bellamy’s appreciates the important role the CNCA has in protecting Chinese consumers and the support of the Australia trade officials in assisting us throughout this process,” Bellamy’s CEO Andrew Cohen said.
