About this tool
The Nutrient and Promotion Profile Model (NPPM) lets you check commercial baby foods against World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations, in just 4 steps.
The first 1000 days of a baby’s life are important for growth and development.
Not all baby food products provide babies with good nutrition at this critical life stage:
- High sugar content and sweet taste profiles put infants at risk of tooth decay and sets them up to desire sweet foods throughout life
- High salt and fat content, plus low energy density mean products don’t meet nutritional needs
- Products marketed as suitable before recommended age of 6 months
- Marketing ‘health halos’ used to mask poor nutrition
This has to change
This tool assesses products and helps you identify areas of focus, giving you the power to make change happen.
