Baby food, claim
PA Dunedin All brands of baby food on the New Zealand market apparently do not stand condemned for an "unnecessarily high” sugar content identified in a recent Otago University study. The study was on Watties baby food and New Zealand Co-operative Dairy milk powder products. The results, published in the “New Zealand Medical Journal.’’ showed
potentially damaging high sugar levels. However, Mr P. Braithwaite, controller of research and production at Reckitt and Colman (N.Z.), 1 Ltd, which markets baby cereals under the Robin- • son brand, has said that ■ his company’s products were reformulated in 1974. In the light of scientific r evidence, the company had ; stopped adding sugar, salt, artificial colouring, artificial flavouring, and prel servatives to its baby cel reals, he said.•
