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

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

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
