Parents are bombarded with misleading marketing when choosing foods for their young children. Our kids deserve better.
Great to work on this story with @tyra_stowers @7NewsMelbourne @MonashNutrition @Monash_FMNHS

Ready-made foods for infants and toddlers are falling well short of global nutritional standards. Monash University road-tested dozens of supermarket products with none meeting the requirements set by the World Health Organisation. youtu.be/L9Cj-7gef3U @tyra_stowers #7NEWS

Aussie families should be able to trust packaged baby/toddler foods are nutritious and marketed responsibly.
This paper adds to growing research that shows many of these products can't be trusted. bit.ly/4dNLDI7 #KidsAreSweetEnough @chung_alexandra @Monash_SPHPM

🚨Aussie parents we need your help!🚨
Our research found infant squeeze pouches aren’t just for babies—they’re popular with older kids too.
But are they as healthy as they claim?
