The recording of the Ceremony and the lectures is online. Let’s celebrate the anniversary of breastfeeding protection together! The International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes was published in 1981. It remains valid as a tool for the protection of breastfeeding, in the broadest sense. The Code is…
- unbiased information for parents
- a safeguard against abusive marketing
- warning against conflicts of interest
- support for health professionals
- the demand for transparency without commercial intent
- promotion of local, healthy and balanced food – see Green feeding
