Else Nutrition Applauds Pivotal U.S. Legislative Support for Plant-Based, Non-Soy, Non-Dairy Infant Formula Innovation

House Appropriations Committee Champions Greater Nutritional Choice and Market Access for U.S. Families FDA Directed to Streamline Approval Pathways for Plant-Based Infant Formulas, Positioning Else Nutrition to Capitalize on Legislative Momentum and Rising Consumer Demand VANCOUVER, BC, July 22, 2025 /CNW/ - ELSE NUTRITION HOLDINGS INC. (TSX: BABY) (OTCQX: BABYF) (FSE: 0YL.F) ("Else" or the"Company"), a global leader in wholefood, plant-pased childhood nutrition for babies, toddlers, children and adults, today applauds the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations for the full-committee passage of the FY2026 Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill. This landmark legislation includes vital language recognizing the importance of expanding access to alternative infant formulas—specifically plant-based, non-soy, and non-dairy formulations—for a growing number of American families. The accompanying report directs the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to streamline approval pathways for small domestic manufacturers and calls for formal regulatory guidance around non-dairy, non-soy plant-based formulas. These are critical for infants with allergies, intolerances, or sensitivities to traditional ingredients—as well as for families seeking nutritional alternatives aligned with health, lifestyle, or ethical values. "This marks a turning point for American families and for Else Nutrition," said Hamutal Yitzhak, CEO & Co-Founder of Else Nutrition. "For too long, parents have had to choose between limited formula options that may not meet their child's needs. This legislative milestone signals that change is coming—toward a more inclusive and diversified infant formula landscape. We commend Congress for recognizing this urgent need and taking action that we believe will benefit families for generations to come." Although these types of advanced formulas have gained traction in global markets, regulatory delays have historically constrained innovation in the U.S. market. The recently advanced legislative language is a strong signal to the FDA to establish clear, actionable guidance that can accelerate the availability of safe, effective, and scientifically backed alternatives. The report also highlights the Operation Stork Speed initiative, part of the Administration's broader effort to fast-track innovation in the infant formula space. By elevating plant-based, non-dairy, non-soy formulations as a key component of this initiative, the legislation reinforces the national commitment to nutritional accessibility and product diversity. While additional legislative steps remain—including passage by the full House—the inclusion of this language in the committee's final report is a powerful indication of Congressional momentum. Though report language is non-binding, it frequently shapes agency priorities, resource allocation, and the pace at which new regulatory frameworks are developed. For Else Nutrition, the implications are clear: the path to broader U.S. market access is becoming more defined. "This is the clearest signal yet that U.S. policymakers are aligned with what we at Else have long championed—that every child deserves access to safe, effective, and nutritionally complete formula options," Yitzhak added. "We look forward to supporting this important public health mission by working with the FDA and other federal partners to help bring innovative solutions to more families, more quickly."

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

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." 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.

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." 2024 Fiscal Year Financial ResultsAll figures are in CAD unless otherwise indicated.
