The company has asked for the pause in share trading to last until the start of normal trading on Tuesday or when the firm makes a further announcement and asks for the halt to be lifted, whichever comes first.

Bubs Australia has already announced a number of corporate moves in 2019. Earlier this month, the business set out a distribution deal in China with local infant-formula group Beingmate.

A week earlier, Bubs Australia said it was leaving a dairy joint venture with Uphamgo Australia, a partnership formed through its 2017 acquisition of goat’s milk business NuLac Foods.

Last month, Bubs Australia announced what it called a “long-term strategic supply partnership” with Tatura Milk Industries, a subsidiary of Bega Cheese, to produce goat’s milk infant formula.
