Responsible Marketing of breast milk substitutes
Danone actively supports the WHO’s recommendation calling for exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months after birth and continued breastfeeding up to two years and beyond, along with the introduction of safe and appropriate complementary foods. Here at India, Danone also follows the Indian Infant Milk Substitutes, Feeding Bottles and Infant Foods (Regulation of Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 1992 which envisages that there shall be no advertising or other forms of sales promotion of infant milk substitutes over breast milk. Danone closely works with multiple partners to create awareness and promote the life-long benefits of the right nutrition during a child’s first 1000 days.
Product Labelling
We strive to promote healthier choices and product labelling is an important step in that direction. Our Product’s labels provide necessary information about the appropriate use of the products, as well as giving detailed nutritional information. Products labels and its information are well within the permitted boundaries of Indian law.
