“Being provided with accurate nutritional information is a basic right of consumers,” said Hong Kong's Consumer Council.
Some manufacturers of baby milk formula sold in Hong Kong had overstated the nutritional contents of their products, the city’s consumer watchdog warned on Monday.
“Being provided with accurate nutritional information is a basic right of consumers,” said Professor Nora Tam Fung-yee, chairwoman of the council’s research and testing committee. Wyeth said the issue was because of different testing methods between the manufacturer and the council. It said the watchdog used a test adopted by the European Union, which would yield a result showing less nutrients compared with its tests approved by the International Organisation for Standardisation.
