Companies should conform to the Code at every level, whether
or not governments have taken any action (Art. 11.3 of the Code).

The
International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes
states:
-
Labels on
infant formula must clearly state the superiority of breastfeeding,
include preparation instructions and a warning about the
health hazards of inappropriate preparation
-
There should
be no pictures of infants or other pictures or text idealising
the use of infant formula on labels. The terms "humanised",
"maternalised" or similar terms should not be
used
-
Labels of
all products under the Code should provide the
necessary information about the appropriate use of the
product and should be designed so as not to discourage
breastfeeding
