BTR 2007 focuses on marketing practices of 12 baby food companies (including Abbott Ross, Danone, Nestle, Numico, Mead Johnson , Wyeth) and 13 feeding bottle and teat companies (including Avent, Chicco and Pigeon).
BTR is based on more than 3000 observations submitted to ICDC from 67 countries between June 2004 to November 2007.
Each company report is prefaced by a profile and a “look at this” box which highlights a mind-boggling marketing practice by the company.
