Thought I could post to Parent-L & Lactnet with one msg. Apparently not. --------------------- Forwarded message: From: [log in to unmask] Sender: [log in to unmask] Reply-to: [log in to unmask] To: [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask] Date: 95-07-25 21:43:41 EDT I just saw something in my local supermarket that made me wildly angry. Right on the front of a large bottle of White House brand apple juice was a drawing of a baby bottle with words to the effect of "Good for Babies, Too." This is not only a blatent violation of the WHO code (which doesn't have the force of law in the US anyway), but I think it must violate some FDA or FTC regulation. The only foods approved for the use of very young babies, at least, are breastmilk and formula. I can't believe they are permitted to advertise apple juice as "Good for Babies." Can you see the steam coming out of my ears? Tomorrow, I am going back to the supermarket, when I am calmer, and talk to the manager, get the address of the manufacturer, and find out what the state and federal agencies have to say. Is there anyone out there who knows exactly which authorities I should be contacting? I should mention that I live in Northern Virginia, in the Washington, DC suburbs, so contacting the Feds directly is only a local call away for me. Rachael Hamlet Angry Radical BF Lawyer Mom from Hell
