Public health experts have congratulated Food Ministers on their decision to support regulating the composition, labelling and texture of baby and toddler foods in Australia

This World Obesity Day, Food for Health Alliance is urging the Australian Government to prioritise the funding and implementation of the National Obesity Strategy. This strategy was launched on this day by the Federal Government in 2022, but three years on little progress on its recommendations has been made.

A new report from Food for Health Alliance released today highlights how companies are misleading parents about what’s in packaged baby and toddler foods. The findings come as Food Ministers are set to decide in coming weeks whether to regulate the composition and marketing of these foods in Australia.
