ACFM response to Which? Marketing Report
We are surprised and disappointed to see that Which?
have included breakfast cereals in a report on 'junk food'.
This is particularly of concern as the health benefits
of breakfast cereals are well documented and a report
like this only further confuses consumers on the health
messages that both the government and healthy eating campaigners
have long fought to put across. |
