Rejected petition Fairer & clearer pricing & information on first stage infant formula
Following on from the Dispatches documentary it’s become clear that all infant milks need to have the same basic ingredients by law in the UK. Why then are we paying various different prices for infant first stage milk when the most expensive doesn’t mean it’s the best for our babies?
More details
Formula companies have found a loophole in the UK marketing regulations by creating “Stage 2” milks which are no different to the first stage milks.
Parents need clearer information from our healthcare providers and formula companies to make it clear what we are buying.
