Standards for infant formula milk
Commercial interests may be the strongest driver of what goes into formula
milk
Berthold Koletzko and Raanan Shamir, BMJ 2006;332;621-622
The quality of infant feeding is of paramount importance
for growth, development, and long term health well into adulthood.1 Breast
feeding is recognised as the ideal form of infant feeding, providing multiple
benefits for child health. Thus breast feeding should be actively promoted,
pro- tected, and supported. Infants who cannot be fed at the breast, who
should not receive breast milk, or for whom breast milk is not available
need infant formula milks of high quality.
The Codex Alimentarius Commission,
part of both the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
(FAO) and the World Health
Organization, develops standards, guidelines, and related texts on food
to protect consumers’ health
and to ensure fair trade practices globally.Most of the world’s
population lives in the more than 160 countries that are members of the
Codex Alimentarius. Its standard on infant formula was adopted in 1981,
based
on scientific knowledge of the 1970s,4 and it is currently being revised.

Intestinal Pseudo-obstruction in adults and children: Preliminary Bid for NSCAG Support
We at Barts and the London (Powell-Tuck, Sanderson, Meadows, Evans, Williams, Martin, Small, Sharp, Khair, Durman, Vaghjiani et al) wish to from a consortium with the other principal units in the UK in a similar state of development in order to press for NSCAG recognition and funding of adult and paediatric services. At present we envisage this consortium to include, with us, Great Ormond Street (Milla, Pierro, Hill, Smith), St Marks Hospital (Forbes, Silk, Gabe, Kamm) and Hope Hospital, Salford (Shaffer, Carlson et al), but wish to hear from others who wish and are in a position to provide a comprehensive service for these patients as outlined above.
