Independent Review Panel reports Press release 11 March 2010

12 March, 2010 - 14:26 — Patti

Government panel says there need to be 'steps taken' to address problems in enforcing baby milk marketing law. Campaigners welcome recommendation and call for UK law to be brought into line with international standards http://info.babymilkaction.org/pressrelease/pressrelease11mar10a

Questions put to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) Board November 2009

On behalf of the Baby Feeding Law Group I ask the FSA Board  about:

  • the narrow remit of the  Independent Review Panel and suggest that it has been a waste of public money;
  • the conflicts of interest in the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the impact this may have on the report of the working group on complementary feeding 
  • concerns about the EFSA decisions on health claims on formulas and baby foods.  
  • taxes on junk food.

 

Tim Smith, CEO of the FSA responds.

FAO/WHO Codex Nutrition Committee (CCFSNDU)

Chiang Mai, Thailand, 3rd November 2006

Cereal-based baby foods are an unlikely subject of controversy but this week they have been at the centre of a bitter struggle between health advocates and the multibillion dollar baby food industry whose interests were defended by the European Commission and the United States. The controversy centered on sugar levels and the rising levels of obesity and food related diseases which are fast consuming health budgets across the globe.
