I received a statement from @Tesco last night to say it is dropping the pilot.
“We will reflect on the views raised by customers and stakeholders when deciding how we support customers in the future.” @DoctorChrisVT @SibsonVicky @bmj_latest @Ilikehinges
UK supermarket Tesco is being urged to drop an “unethical” pilot of an in-store infant feeding advice service in which midwives funded by the formula milk firm Danone are expected to wear branded uniforms and undergo training by the company

👂Great way to digest the key points from the oral evidence of 54 experts, incl me @SibsonVicky - honored to have been invited to speak on the critical importance of #EarlyYears nutrition, shaping life long health & wellbeing. Waiting eagerly for Govt response end of Jan 2025 …
In our recent report we called on the Government to fix our broken food system. This followed an in-depth inquiry where we heard from a range of stakeholders.
In our new podcast, we unpack the evidence with Committee chair, Baroness Walmsley.

Even before a child's learnt to read, they can recognise brands, and a child’s knowledge of food brands can be a significant predictor of adiposity.
@SibsonVicky looks at how consumption of commercial baby foods has been normalised and why it's a problem

Our Director @SibsonVicky will be taking part in an exciting panel session at #FoodActive2024 TOMORROW to make the case for prioritising the #EarlyYears as part of their mission to create the healthiest generation of children ever.
Tickets: eventbrite.co.uk/e/increasin… @food_active
👇🎉Super excited to see my oral & written evidence in to @UKHouseofLords on #EarlyYears #nutrition has been used to inform ambitious recommendations. 🤱🏼👩🏼🍼🥦🥕🍉Now for Govt action - let’s see if they’re serious about “creating the healthiest generation of children ever” 👀
👌Suitably ambitious recs on #EarlyYears #nutrition from @UKHouseofLords to food industry & govt, taking on board what we said should be prioritised, incl: regulating commercial baby/toddler food composition & marketing, and discretionary formula marketing; reforming #HealthyStart; and review & mandate food standards for early years settings & support & monitor implementation. Fantastic over arching rec for development of a 'comprehensive & integrated maternal & infant nutrition strategy' which would also bring in the health sector side of the equation, incl support for #breastfeeding & complementary feeding. LOTS for industry & govt to grapple with! 🙏Thank you to the inquiry committee & all involved
