In May, China banned infant formula and other dairy products made by firms not on Beijing’s list of registered overseas dairy manufacturers.

A2 Milk applied for registration in association with Synlait Milk, its processing partner for the Platinum brand.

Geoffrey Babidge, A2’s managing director, said: “Registration will provide an important confidence boost for our distribution partner China State Farm and its sub-distributors in our target markets in China. The market development programme paused while the registration process was progressing and can now be reactivated together with new communication initiatives.”
