Forbidden Foods Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Marcus Brown said:
"We're pleased with the strong start in our first full quarter following the Company's ASX listing. We continued to deploy our IPO funds during the quarter to grow our existing channels, launch our FUNCH baby foods range, increase our stock holdings for anticipated growth, while also investing in other strategic and scalable channels, including growing our e-commerce presence globally.
"Although we continue to monitor the impacts of COVID-19, our diverse distribution and growth strategy has provided protection and opportunity, in particular in the retail and e-commerce side of the business.
"In Q2, we announced three new national customers including Foodworks/AUR, Baby Bunting and Pharmacy Alliance and look forward to wide-scale launches across theses store networks in January and February of 2021. This national presence, in particular for our FUNCH Australian baby foods range, underpins our credibility for our global export market strategy that is very much underway."

In December 2020, Forbidden Foods advised of its new partnership with Pharmacy Alliance, gaining acceptance to range its seven FUNCH Australian baby food lines in partner stores nationally from February 2021.

All Pharmacy Alliance members, who achieve collective annual turnover of over $1.3 billion, will gain access to the Company’s full Australian Baby Foods range, including four Fruit Purees and three Infant Wholegrain Cereals.
Forbidden Foods also engaged leading health care wholesaler and distributor, Sigma Healthcare Ltd (ASX: SIG), to handle distribution and promotion of the FUNCH lines throughout the Pharmacy Alliance network. Sigma’s network extends to more than 1,200 branded and independent pharmacy stores.
Forbidden Foods has developed a proactive promotional program to ensure consumer awareness builds rapidly through this new channel.
