14 Jun 2021 --- Danone and Safefood are defending the appointment of Danone’s Claire Mac Evilly to Safefood’s advisory committee following an open letter expressing concerns of corporate representation in public health, especially in the field of infant nutrition. As Mac Evilly is also Danone’s director of corporate affairs, the open letter flags a “major conflict of interest” considering Danone is a major manufacturer of infant formula in Ireland, a country with “abysmally low” breastfeeding rates.
