SCIENTIFIC AND FACTUAL?
That this House warmly welcomes the publication of Scientific and factual? A review of breastmilk substitute advertising to healthcare professionals by Dr Helen Crawley of First Steps Nutrition Trust; notes with interest the various case studies cited by First Steps Nutrition Trust which demonstrate what it considers to be misleading and inaccurate advertising of infant formula by Danone, HiPP, NANNYcare, Mead Johnson, Abbott Nutrition and SMA; asks that the Government takes greater action to ensure that accurate and independent information on infant formula is more freely available; and calls on the Advertising Standards Agency to ensure more robust action is taken against companies which it considers are misleading health professionals and consumers.
