Research for the independent review of the controls on infant formula and follow-on formula
The independent panel have asked that three pieces of research are carried out in order to provide the necessary evidence upon which they can assess whether the new controls on advertising and presentation are fulfilling their objectives or whether further action is needed and, if so, what future action may be appropriate.
The estimated total cost of the review is £470,000. It was funded jointly by the Department of Health and the Food Standards Agency.
Summaries of the three research projects are provided below.
