As we celebrate #worldfoodday2024 under the theme “Right to Food: For a Better Life and a Better Future,”we are reminded of the urgent need to transform our global food systems.

Every person deserves access to safe, nutritious, and sustainably produced food.

US data but would put money on the same picture in UK. We URGENTLY need progress on commercial baby & toddler food regulation to address issues with inappropriate composition & marketing @GwynneMP @Childrensfood @OHA_updates

Sales of baby food pouches have increased by 900 percent. Experts are concerned https://t.co/BiVOTlCwQP

Parents are bombarded with misleading marketing when choosing foods for their young children. Our kids deserve better.

Great to work on this story with @tyra_stowers @7NewsMelbourne @MonashNutrition @Monash_FMNHS

[7NEWS Melbourne @7NewsMelbourne]

Ready-made meals for babies and toddlers are falling alarmingly short of global nutrition guidelines. One in four supermarket products failed to meet the expectations of the World Health Organisation. Dr Alexandra Chung from Monash University joins @Rebecca7Maddern. #7NEWS

[Food for Health Alliance @FHAllianceAU]

Aussie families should be able to trust packaged baby/toddler foods are nutritious and marketed responsibly.

This paper adds to growing research that shows many of these products can't be trusted. https://t.co/hZxMzLa2pv #KidsAreSweetEnough @chung_alexandra @Monash_SPHPM

Our research found infant squeeze pouches aren’t just for babies—they’re popular with older kids too.
But are they as healthy as they claim?
