Does Nestlé make inaccurate health and nutrition claims on infant formula products?
Infant formula products are heavily regulated by governments in order to ensure that consumers have technically precise and accurate information. Nestlé complies with the local legal and regulatory frameworks when making any scientific claim. In addition, the following statement, “Important notice: Breast milk is best for babies. Before you decide to use an infant formula, consult your doctor or clinic for advice”, appears on all our infant formula products. Breast milk is the ideal nutrition for infants. It meets all the nutritional needs of infants in the first 6 months of life in order to achieve optimal growth and development. However, when breast milk is not available, it is our responsibility to offer the best possible infant formula in order to provide a safe and nutritious alternative. Our significant investments in research and development of infant formula help us continually deliver innovative products which meet the nutritional requirements of non-breastfed babies. Statemen
