All Party Parliamentary Group on Infant Feeding update

The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Infant Feeding has been reformed following the election last year and is now chaired by Jess Brown-Fuller, MP for Chichester. On 24 February 2025, Jess, together with the Chair for the APPG for Babies (Maya Ellis, MP) and the Chair for the Health APPG (Dr Simon Opher, MP), sent a letter to the Secretary of State for Health, asking that the Government implements the CMA market study recommendations (see above) as a matter of urgency.
 
On Tuesday 4 March, the first full meeting of this APPG took place, in a hybrid format with a face-to-face meeting at Portcullis House. There was a presentation from Rachel Smith from the Competition and Markets Authority who discussed the final report from the CMA on the infant formula and follow-on formula market study. Our Senior Nutritionist, Dr Katie Pereira-Kotze Katie shared the response from the BFLG-UK to the CMA recommendations, and this will be available in due course on the BFLG website here.
