The Code

Adopted in 1981 by the World Health Assembly, The International Code of Marketing Breast Milk Substitutes ("The Code") ensures the provision of safe and adequate nutrition for infants by protecting and promoting breastfeeding, while regulating the appropriate use of human milk substitutes when necessary, through responsible marketing and distribution practices.  At this event, Breastfeeding researchers from across Canada will gather to discuss The Code, its status and importance to protecting breastfeeding in Canada.

An agenda and speaker profile will be made available to confirmed attendees closer to the date.
