NCPCR FSSAI Consumer Affairs Consumer Guild (कंज्यूमर गिल्ड ) Mondelēz Intl ‘s Tang claims to be Kids drink break! Another case of pushing unnecessary sugar to our children. It has 92.9 grams sugar/100 ml and suggests 22.5 grams per serving i.e 20.7 gram of sugar in 180ml glass gulped in one go!

I don’t understand why Nestlé is represented here. What’s the point in mitigating emissions on products that are ultraprocessed, unhealthy and unnecessary for human diets in the first place? And doesn’t WBCSD represent a who’s who of transnational ultraprocessed food companies?

Today is International Women's Day; I am thinking today about my Mum.

Her feminism was such a huge part of who she was, and she never stopped campaigning for equality and justice for women and girls ❤️❤️❤️

Dr. Melissa Theurich Victoria Hall Moran Congratulations! That's why the Code dating back to 1981 regulated bottles and teats! More efforts are needed to adopt, regulate, and enforce. Our under-reviewed manuscript shows that the market for breast pumps is expanding and has a high potential for Code violation.

Large bottle volumes, teats for complementary feeding and non-standardized language for flow rates may promote overfeeding, childhood overweight and #obesity .
Bottles and teats should be made of safe materials, designed for easy cleaning and meet established European standards.

Our national survey from Germany published at Victoria Hall Moran demonstrates that most infant bottle brands (38, 93%) promote products using inappropriate marketing claims. No legislation exists to restrict misleading marketing claims on infant feeding bottles. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mc…
