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 meals for babies and toddlers are falling alarmingly short of global nutrition guidelines. One in four supermarket products failed to meet the expectations of the World Health Organisation. Dr Alexandra Chung from Monash University joins @Rebecca7Maddern. #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
