IBFAN and ILCA co-hosted an official Side Event at WHO Headquarters, bringing together food safety experts, representatives from WHO, UNICEF, EU Parliament, Member States and Young people to discuss the global infant formula contamination crisis
Over the years misleading marketing and intrinsic contamination of commercial formula – a child’s first taste of ultra-processed products – has led to infant fatalities, factory closures, interrupted supplies and distress to families
IBFAN will be present once again at the 79th World Health Assembly to cover agenda items that impact on child health
We are a global network which has worked tirelessly to combat misleading commercial promotion and protect breastfeeding, a vital pillar for children’s well-being.
