I'm trying to figure out how bad this actually is, I think it is straight up fraud because the container (NIDO 1+) doesn't list sugar in the nutritional breakdown or ingredients.

The authors of the report spoke to Karen Hofman, a professor of public health at the University of Witwatersrand and a qualified paediatrician, who said that the difference in the sugar levels is a form of "colonisation".

"I do not understand why products for sale in South Africa should be different from those that are sold in high-income settings.

She added:

It is a form of colonisation and should not be tolerated.
"There is no valid reason to add sugar to baby food anywhere."

I can only hope my kid doesn't get this kind of brain damage.
