Summary: In the Philippines, Nestle’s Cerelac, a popular baby food, contains added sugar, raising concerns among health professionals about the impact on children’s health. Despite Nestle’s claims of following guidelines, Unicef found nearly half of baby foods in Southeast Asia include added sugars. A bill sponsored by Imee Marcos aims to prohibit added sugar in baby food, while Nestle plans to phase it out within two to three years.

    Yeah but the existing production would already have it. That’s why they say “phase it out”, as opposed to a complete recall.
