Club members can purchase a two-pack of Bobbie's Organic Original infant formula for $39.99 (two 14.1 oz cans), the brand's best price per ounce to date. Proudly manufactured in the U.S. to meet both FDA and EU infant formula standards, Bobbie was recently named a Top Choice by Consumer Reports after testing 41 brands for heavy metals and toxic chemicals. Bobbie's USDA Organic seal and commitment to rigorous testing earned it the distinction of being the only Organic infant formula offered to Costco shoppers. Bobbie is the only infant formula to earn both the Clean Label Project Purity Award and Pesticide-Free certification, setting a new standard for safety and transparency in the U.S. formula industry. Made with Organic Valley grass-fed milk from pasture-raised cows on 45 small, family-owned American farms, Bobbie is crafted with care and free from corn syrup, maltodextrin, sucrose, palm oil, and soy oil. Every ingredient is thoughtfully chosen—and just as importantly, so are the ones left out. Today, Bobbie is available exclusively at hopes of earning a permanent place on shelves in stores nationwide. "We're thrilled to be the only USDA Organic infant formula available to Costco shoppers online.

Here's why: USDA + EU Standards: Sharing our commitment to quality and safety, our Organic Original Infant Formula is USDA and EU Organic Certified. This dedication stems from a shared belief: consumers deserve only the best—the same high-quality products we'd want for our own families. Premium Organic Ingredients Sourced from Reputable Suppliers: prioritizing local farms, family run businesses, and small batch operations in the U.S. wherever possible. Safe American Manufacturing: less time between canning the formula, supporting US jobs and domestic manufacturing, formula never sits on a ship or at ports because Bobbie is manufactured from beginning to end in the heartland of America: Heath, Ohio. Bobbie Quality: Before canning, each batch is tested for contaminants, microorganisms, or naturally occurring heavy metal residue—as well as ensuring the vitamin and mineral levels match our recipe. Not a single batch leaves the facility until it goes through all 2,000 quality checkpoints.

How To Check The Authenticity Of Organic Foods? Know From The Nutritionist
There is already much fuss about organic farming around the world. Don't you agree? Many farmers claim to be growing food products sustainably and without the use of chemicals, as promised on the label. We also often come across brands that look organic, but it is not clear whether they were grown organically. What to do in such situations? Nutritionist Rashi Chowdhary posted a video on Instagram, sharing 'a guide to avoid getting fooled by brands.' She writes in the caption, 'Just because it says 'organic' doesn't mean it's clean. Real organic products go through these strict checks before getting certified as ORGANIC.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rashi Chowdhary (@rashichowdhary) In the video, she explains, 'If you're in India, please stop paying for fake organic products. You know, I want you to actually look for these three logos on your product because it means that it's been verified by the government.' According to the nutritionist, the three logos are Jaivik Bharat, India Organic and PCS-India Green. She further shares the brands which are selling organic farm produce and have been verified. The brands are - Health Fields, Organic India, Pro Nature Organic Foods, Pure & Sure, Conscious Food, Organic Tattva, and 24 Mantra Organic. 'Now, this is not a paid promotion guys, but I know it's going to help you avoid getting scammed. Obviously, save this for yourself and also send it to someone who spends way too much money on organic stuff,' she states. In the caption, Rashi then opens up about the strict checks in order to verify the organic foods. According to her - Ingredients should be grown without synthetic pesticides, GMO seeds, or chemical fertilisers. Even the packaging and processing have to meet organic standards. And if they meet all of these standards, you can find any of these 3 logos on the packaging, giving it a green flag. If it's an imported product, she advises to look for the USDA Organic label. 'Don't fall for greenwashing again & pay premium for fake organic products,' she concludes.
