Ahead of the next EU Experts committee meeting on the 30th October and the Codex meeting on 4th November EFSA has published its opinion on so called "Growing-up Formulas"   concluding that they have no additional value to a balanced diet. 

 

You can find the excellent report on these new formulas by First Steps Nutrition Trust (Fortified milks for children: A worldwide review of fortified milks marketed for children over 1 year   on this link  http://firststepsnutrition.org/newpages/Infants/infant_feeding.html

There was also a good report by the Consumer Group Which? which came to the same conclusions.  See Mike Brady's blog here: http://info.babymilkaction.org/news/campaignblog220813
