On another forum I found this out found that boots don't give loyalty points on formula milk and apparently a lot of places like tesco dont either. What are your views on this? I have seen several petitions to try and stop this.
I think its good to try and promote breastfeeding but this has caused outrage among non breastfeeding mothers.
perhaps this is old news I only just heard of it.
Found this to when I was googling
* The Infant Formula and Follow-on Formula Regulations 1995
* Restrictions on promotion of infant formulae
19. No person shall at any place where any infant formula is sold by retail—
o (a) advertise any infant formula;
o (b) make any special display of an infant formula designed to promote sales;
o (c) give away—
+ (i) any infant formula as a free sample; or
+ (ii) any coupon which may be used to purchase an infant formula at a discount;
o (d) promote the sale of an infant formula by means of premiums, special sales, loss- leaders or tie-in sales; or
o (e) undertake any other promotional activity to induce the sale of an infant formula.
