Frequently asked questions about Bobbie

Bobbie is an infant formula made in the U.S. that meets all FDA requirements and most of the EU nutritional requirements for infant formulas.

‍

Like popular EU formulas, Bobbie is an organic infant formula that uses lactose as the source of carbohydrate, it’s easy to digest, and meets EU standards for DHA. We use premium organic ingredients sourced from reputable suppliers while prioritizing local farms, family-run businesses, and small-batch operations in the U.S. wherever possible.

Bobbie's recipe is inspired by EU nutritional requirements for infant formula. Like popular EU formulas, Bobbie uses lactose as the source of carbohydrate, is organic and non-GMO, is easy to digest, and meets EU standards for DHA.

Bobbie is manufactured right here in the U.S. in FDA-registered facilities in Ohio. Our manufacturer maintains world-class quality standards while also meeting USDA Organic, Kosher, Halal, and FDA quality standards.

Bobbie is developed for healthy term infants. Powdered infant formulas, like Bobbie, are not sterile and should not be fed to premature infants or infants who are immunocompromised unless directed and supervised by the baby's health care provider.

In 2019, the FDA issued a notice regarding our product due to a regulatory issue, and we voluntarily recalled our product while we addressed their concerns. We spent the following 14 months working closely with the FDA and brought our current formulation of Bobbie to market in January 2021 with the FDA's green light. At Bobbie, we believe our scars make us stronger. Whether from birthing a baby or a business, we are smarter and better able to serve you because of what we've been through.

Bobbie is one of the only U.S. formulas meeting both EU & U.S. requirements for iron.

The amount of iron that Bobbie provides is slightly lower than the average U.S. infant formulas.

Every journey is different, and parents deserve to be supported in their decisions. They also need access to resources—whether it's breastfeeding support or to formulas that are right for their babies in a format that does not stigmatize or shame. We are constantly evaluating our pricing because we believe all families deserve access to a variety of feeding options, as infant feeding is not a one-size-fits-all. We also made the conscious decision to build a giveback program into the foundation of our business. For every can of Bobbie sold, we will be donating a bottle of Bobbie to a milk-insecure baby in the U.S..
