China relents on Bellamy’s

SHARES in infant formula maker Bellamy’s Australia have soared after Chinese authorities lifted a licence suspension on the company’s recently acquired Camperdown canning facility.

The registration of the Camperdown Powder canning site in Victoria had been reinstated by the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People’s Republic of China ( CNCA), Bellamy’s said.

Foreign suppliers of Chineselabelled infant formula products in China must register the canning facility used. Chinese authorities suspended registration of Bellamy’s Camperdown canning facility in Victoria on July 7 after a thirdparty’s allegations relating to historical filing and records, and to certain previous quality issues, the company said.
