Baby foods on the market generally contain too much sugar, posing a source of health concern, a new report by the World Health Organisation has said.

The UN specialised agency on public health based the conclusion on an examination by its European office of about 8,000 baby food products on the shelf between November 2017 and January 2018.

The examination that covered more than 500 stores in Austria, Bulgaria, Israel and Hungary also found the labels of up to 60 per cent of the inspected food were misleading by claiming to be suitable for infants under six months old. In the WHO report, countries were advised to make new laws to curb high sugar intake, ban added sugars and sweeteners in baby foods, and put an end to the promotion of breast milk substitutes.
