WHO Code

International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes

In 1981 The World Health Assembly adopted the WHO International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes. To achieve this it recommended as a basis for action various requirements and restrictions in relation to marketing and distributing breast milk substitutes. The New Zealand Minister of Health adopted the Code in its entirety in 1983 through consensus and discussion rather than though legislation.
