Koforidua, Aug. 12, GNA – Nestle Ghana has honoured over 300 retail and sub-wholesale dealers in Nestle products in the Eastern and Volta regions for staying loyal to the Nestle brand.

Cash prizes of Gh¢800, Gh¢3,000, Gh¢30,000, Gh¢50,000 and five refrigerators were awarded to 15 exceptional promotion winners during the third edition of the Nestle Loyal Engagement in Koforidua.

Sub-wholesalers and retailers who attended the event were educated on the World Health Organisation (WHO) Code and the Ghana L.I. 1667, which regulated the marketing of breast milk substitutes, feeding bottles and teats.

Ms Grace Dzifa Wornyoh, the Eastern-Volta Medical Delegate of Nestle Ghana, said the WHO code prohibited the advertisement of breast milk substitutes such as SMA, NAN, and Lactogen.

That was because breastmilk remained the best food to feed babies from zero to six months as the WHO advocated, since it contained the essential nutrients, which aided the proper growth of babies under six months.
