A nutritional survey of baby food on sale in Europe has shown that a significant number of products contain high sugar levels that contradict World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations for child nutrition.
In collaboration with WHO Regional Office for Europe, researchers from the University of Leeds’ School of Food Science and Nutrition and the School of Medicine have developed a draft Nutrient Profile Model for infants and young children aged from six to 36 months.
The findings and recommendations for baby food promotion and composition from the draft Nutrient Profile Model are included in a report launched today in Brussels.
