The International Code of Marketing of Breast milk Substitutions

{{Ans- An international health policy framework to regulate the marketing of breast

milk substitutes in order to protect breastfeeding. It was written in response to the

marketing activities of the infant feeding industry which were promoting formula

maternal and infant morbidity and mortality.

What does "The Code" do?

{{Ans- Regulates the marketing of breast milk substitutes which includes infant

formulas and any other food or drink, together with feeding bottles, and teats,

intended for babies and young children. Sets standards for the labeling and quality of

products and for how the law should be implemented and monitored within countries.

Aims to make sure that parental choices on feeding are based on full, impartial

information, rather than misleading, inaccurate or biased marketing claims.

The Global Strategy for Infant & Young Child Feeding

{{Ans- Is intended as a guide for action; it identifies interventions with a proven

positive impact, it emphasizes providing mothers and families the support they need

to carry out their crucial roles, and it explicitly defines the obligations and

responsibilities in this regard of governments, international organizations, and other

concerned parties
