Ann Veneman acknowledges food giant does not comply with World Health Organisation guidelines as she takes up board post

Former Unicef head Ann Veneman pledged to fight from within to change Nestlé's marketing of breast milk substitutes as she controversially took up a boardroom seat at the Swiss food and drinks giant, despite pleas from nutrition advocates not to lend her name to the company's marketing of breast milk substitutes. Veneman, who headed the UN children's agency from 2005-2010 and before that was US agriculture secretary in George W Bush's administration, has acknowledged Nestlé is not fully complying with a voluntary breast milk code adopted by the World Health Organisation.
