Suvow successfully registered its brand "Sujia (素嘉)"  in 2017. According to a report released in 2019, Suvow reapplied to change its infant formula to an organic formula. This new application was rejected for undisclosed reasons.

Tips: Before selling an organic infant formula product to China, it’s better to get the manufacturer registered first, then to obtain the organic certificate and finally to register the product recipe.
