Based on our Sept report this editorial highlights the extent to which unnecessary ‘growing up’ & toddler milks & plant-based alternatives, & low/allergy formulas contain excessive amounts of sugar tinyurl.com/SugarFilledFor…. Regs urgently needed! @OHID @BflgUk @JessBrownFuller
👉high prices of infant formula & massive variation problematic & unjustified when all are nutritionally comparable 👉price promotions may be risky if temporary - should not be allowed 👉Code in law necessary to deal with widespread inappropriate #marketing & bring prices down

I'm glad to see this interim report - formula companies rightly being scrutinised on the soaring cost of infant formula and the need for enforcement of current rules on advertising. Parents deserve proper information, not more marketing which only adds to the cost of a tin.
We’ve published our interim report on the infant formula market. We’re concerned parents and carers may be paying over the odds for these products. Read more: gov.uk/government/new…
