Nestle to follow WHO infant formula code worldwide

Nestle announced voluntary compliance with the World Health Organization code on marketing breast milk substitutes. President Rafael D. Pagan Jr. said the aim is to prevent marketing that discourages breastfeeding and to implement the code in countries lacking measures. The plan includes non promotional labels, fewer baby pictures, and giving formula supplies only on written requests. Nestle will form an ethics audit panel including clergy and scientists and will license health workers to provide formula only when needed. The move follows WHO adoption of the non binding code and prior Nestle endorsements amid boycott pressure.
