I've always found the company in question to be far more single-minded than
the infamous one.  Though it's quite hard to choose between them.

Choice phrases in this article bemoaning the shrinkage of the baby food
market:

"the intervention policies of some governments" (ie in causing a reduction
in the promotion of artificial milk)
"there was still room for growth as the current penetration of children and
infant nutritional supplements in the population is still low"
"there was support for high-quality educational and awareness programmes to
meet the needs of healthcare professionals and consumers"
" 'Consumer education is going to be one of our biggest ally in this
competitive industry,' Tan said.
" 'We are in the business of assuring and providing parents with proper
guidance and vital information, as they make their first and most important
decision on how to feed their children.' "

WHERE HAS HE BEEN?   CAN'T WE SEND HIM A COPY OF THE CODE? or at least to
the reporter concerned.  Oh, silly me, the companies write these news
articles themselves and the newspapers publish them blindly.  Truly -
estimates are that 25 - 80% of "news articles" are from press releases.

Wyeth's focus on quality in children nutrition
BY PANG HONG YEE IN SINGAPORE
Manufacturers of infant and children nutritional supplements are facing
intense competition in view of the declining birth rates across the world.
This is in part due to the successes of the contraception technology, the
intervention policies of some governments and the trend towards smaller
families.
