Here is another example of a Code violator (IndoFood) also with a clear conflict of interest together with the facilitator @SUN_Movement @GerdaVerburg and government regulators. Did we learn nothing from the UN #FoodSystems Dialogues and Summit? #babiesbeforeprofits #BMSCodeAt40

“The unethical and harmful behavior of the BMS industry is an old fight in this new and uncertain world. It should have ended 40 years ago when the BMS code was adopted. It’s time to end it now.” #BMSCodeAt40 #BigFormula https://t.co/SfnoQbUVh2

In the last 40 years since the Code’s adoption, research has continued to prove #ThereisNoSubstitute for #breastfeeding. But over decades, companies have only ramped up their nefarious and unethical marketing efforts - we must enforce the #BMSCodeAt40. https://t.co/kPH7CtQnAX

@MathisenRoger @Nutrients_MDPI @aliveandthrive @fhi360research @uowresearch What and how often have the pregnant women and mothers of infants exposed to in the previous 30 days? - VARIOUS TYPES, in DIFFERENT CHANNELS, and VERY OFTEN. Do they approach pregnant women for promoting ONLY milk for pregnant women? - NO, they also promote BMS. #BMSCodeAt40

This #WBW2021, we add @nytimes to the list of violators of the Int'l Code of Marketing of BMS aimed at protecting mothers and children. Violations of the Code are violations of human rights - including rights enshrined in the Convention on the Right of the Child. #BMSCodeAt40.
