Bobbie Unveils First USDA Organic Whole Milk Formula Made in USA
Bobbie has announced its fourth infant formula since the company’s launch in 2021: after three years of development, Bobbie Organic Whole Milk Infant Formula is here. As the first and only USDA Organic Whole Milk infant formula manufactured in America, this industry-first product redefines high quality infant nutrition. Developed with the leading science and research and manufactured at the brand’s state-of-the-art facility in the heartland of America, Heath, Ohio, Bobbie Organic Whole Milk infant formula offers quality, safety, and reliability at a time when the U.S. infant formula industry is facing continued uncertainty.
Only 7% of infant formulas sold in the U.S. are Organic and only 5% are certified USDA Organic. Just 4% of formulas sold in the U.S. use whole milk. Bobbie Organic Whole Milk Infant Formula is the ONLY routine infant formula manufactured in the U.S. that is both USDA Organic and made with whole milk.
Bobbie Organic Whole Milk infant formula is available today at hibobbie.com for $28/can and coming to select retailers this summer.
Since its launch four years ago, Bobbie remains dedicated to providing American families with high-quality, Organic infant formula made right here in the US. The research and development arm of the company, Bobbie Labs, spent three years developing Bobbie’s closest-to-breast milk recipe, featuring less vegetable oils, more naturally-occurring milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) from Organic whole milk, choline, and industry leading levels of DHA to support infant brain development. MFGM is a component of milk fat that has been linked to cognitive and immune system support in infants. MFGM is naturally found in breast milk, and research has suggested it can play a role in supporting brain development, immune health, and gut function.
“As a pediatrician, I am always looking for the best options to support infant nutrition, and I’m thrilled to see Bobbie Organic Whole Milk Infant Formula enter the market as the first and only USDA Organic whole milk-based formula manufactured in the U.S. Bobbie continues to set the standard for clean, high-quality infant nutrition by using naturally occurring milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) from whole milk—an essential component of breast milk that supports brain development. Bobbie continues to be a brand I trust and recommend for parents seeking a clean, high-quality, breast milk-inspired formula that prioritizes both safety and science-backed nutrition,” said Lauren Crosby, MD, FAAP.
Bobbie Organic Whole Milk formula undergoes over 2,000 safety and quality checks before release at Bobbie’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Heath, Ohio. Owning end-to-end manufacturing has unlocked innovation on an entirely new level for the industry-disrupting, mom-led brand. With a steady supply of unlimited inventory, manufacturing redundancy, and the ability to produce high quality infant formulas in-house, Bobbie has unlocked the recipe development and manufacturing rigor required to lead the way for the next generation of American infant formula.
Bobbie Organic Whole Milk infant formula is the only USDA Organic whole milk infant formula on the US market, designed to bring parents a first-of-its-kind formulation that is certified Organic to both the USDA and EU Organic standards, and features a no palm oil, no soy fat blend. The groundbreaking recipe is made with USDA Organic whole milk, a critical choice in a formula category flooded with Organic claims that fall short of the USDA Organic seal.
“As a team of parents, we understand first hand the importance of quality and reliability when it comes to feeding our babies. No parent should have to choose between the two and with this product, we can guarantee the best of the best on both fronts,” saidLaura Modi, CEO and Co-Founder of Bobbie and mom of four.“This recipe, the first USDA Organic whole milk infant formula in the world, is the epitome of my why behind Bobbie. It’s a dream formulation that represents much more than what’s inside the can (though I’m very proud of that as well) – it is about pushing the nutritional standards forward, reimagining how we feed babies in the U.S., and making America the gold standard in infant nutrition.”

Brooklyn’s Sungold Celebrates Spring With New Dishes, Drinks
The weather’s warming up, and at Sungold in Brooklyn, that means it’s time to grab a seat on the patio, order a Caprese Martini or Spritz (or both) and dig into something seasonal.
Tucked inside Arlo Williamsburg, Sungold is one of Brooklyn’s best-kept dining secrets — a chef-driven hidden gem with a serious commitment to local sourcing, standout wood-fired pizzas and a sun-lit dining room that opens out to a lush patio perfect for spring afternoons and cocktail-fueled dinners.
Executive Chef Michael King, known for his ingredient-first approach and love of the Union Square Greenmarket, has just launched Sungold’s new spring menu, continuing his mission of letting seasonal produce drive the dining experience. Returning favorites like the beloved Celery Root Latke (called the Best Latke in Town by Grub Street) and his signature Second Street Burger are staying on the menu, but this new lineup leans into what’s fresh, bright and bold to match the season.
New spring dishes include:
-
Charred Cucumbers with smoked roe, tomatoes, Calabrian chile and a dill pickle vinaigrette
-
Wagyu Tartare with miso dijon, pickled shallots and crisp sunchokes
-
Ramps & Ricotta Pizza with San Marzano tomatoes and Espelette pepper
-
Arrabbiata Pizza with spicy tomato, guanciale, Vermont mozzarella and a sunny farm egg
-
Potato Gnocchi with Jonah crab, sweet peas, poppy seed and sorrel
-
Harissa Roasted Carrots with farro, tahini, labneh and preserved lemon
-
Striped Bass with olive oil-crushed potatoes, rainbow chard and ramp vadouvan
Cocktails to match the mood:
-
Caprese Martini made with Ketel One vodka, tomato, basil, mozzarella cheese clarification and a blue cheese olive
-
Lucky Smash made with Jameson Irish whiskey, lychee, raspberry, ginger, lime and mint
Sungold’s menus are rooted in Chef King’s personal connection to ingredients— especially the humble shallot, which appears across seasons (and even on his forearm, in tattoo form). For spring, that means dishes that reflect the color and produce of the moment.

CSI Offers Wild-Captured Seafood Certification
Certified Seafood International, Inc. has announced a new choice in the certification of wild-capture seafood. CSI will focus on delivering an affordable and effective eco-certification program that provides credible assurance, expands access to more high-performing fisheries and promotes greater transparency about the seafood that we eat.
“All of us want wild-capture fisheries to remain healthy and productive for generations to come,” said Christine Penney, chair of the CSI board and vice president of sustainability and public affairs at Clearwater Seafoods. “Credible third-party certification programs have an important role to play in recognizing responsible management practices and providing assurance to the market. We are pleased that CSI will expand the choices available to global seafood stakeholders.”
CSI was developed in partnership with credible regional certification programs and looks to build upon those successes. Most significantly, the certificates and standards of the GSSI benchmarked Responsible Fishery Management program are rolling into CSI, meaning that approximately 3 million metric tons of fishery landings are currently certified.
The program’s new global governing board includes individuals from Canada, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States.
“The CSI program will assess fisheries against a clear and rigorous Fisheries Standard grounded in the Guidelines of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization,” said Mike Kraft, CSI executive director. “We believe that a stable standard, focused on fisheries management and based on internationally recognized UN principles, provides clarity and consistency that is vital for fisheries striving to achieve certification.”
The association offers the ability to identify harvest origin on the eco-label, one aspect of the improved transparency that it is committed to promoting over time. More information about the CSI Program is available at csicertified.org.
