Nestlé 'bypasses' baby milk code
Joanna Moorehead
Tuesday May 15, 2007
The Guardian

Thirty years after a boycott of Nestlé products was launched to
highlight its unethical marketing of baby formula in developing
countries, baby formula manufacturers are still failing in their
responsibilities towards the world's poorest mothers and babies, Save
the Children claims today.

It says around 1.4 million children die each year of illnesses such as
diarrhoea that could have been prevented if they were being breastfed.
But - despite the dangers of mixing infant formula with dirty water
and using unsterile bottles - food companies continue to use
aggressive marketing techniques to keep their share of a multi-million
pound market.
