Camilla,
I'm not aware of any regulation but I would urge you to report what you have
heard from clients (without breaching confidentiality of course!) to APMAIF.
As far as they are concerned this sort of thing is not happening....we know
it is but if no one ever tells them they are happy to report that all is
well re marketing of infant formula in Australia. It is not difficult to
make a complaint.
