GE-Free NZ Misrepresents Infant Formula Industry Position
The Infant Nutrition Council (INC) is concerned about the alarmist misrepresentation of our submission to a Senate Inquiry in Australia. The submission was about a proposed amendment to the labelling of genetically modified ingredients. We believe there are significant flaws to the proposed amendment and our submission supported the current labelling laws.
“Infant formulas made and sold in New Zealand and Australia meet all regulatory requirements and are absolutely safe for babies”, said Jan Carey, CEO of INC. “To state or imply otherwise as has been done by GE-Free NZ, is irresponsible and unprincipled.”
Mothers should not follow the advice of GE-Free NZ to avoid infant formula made in Australia but rather, should contact the company that manufactures their infant formula product for further information.
