With the joint efforts of related departments of the Macao SAR Government and assistance of Hong Kong Consumer Council, suppliers of infant milk powder in Hong Kong agree to have their Macao service hotlines listed on the website of Macao Consumer Council for the convenience of parents in Macao to purchase milk powder. In recent years, supply of infant milk powder in local market has become tense. To safeguard the consumer rights of local citizens, Macao Consumer Council has been in constant consultation with other related departments including Health Bureau (SS), Provisional Municipal Council (IACM), and Economic Services (DSE), to discuss on how to solve such problem. Macao Consumer Council contacted Hong Kong Consumer Council in the first stage and arranged a meeting with suppliers of infant milk powder in Hong Kong and the related Macao government departments to safeguard stable supply of infant milk powder. Government department representatives met with representatives of milk powder suppliers including Mead Johnson, Friso, Nestle, and Wyeth, earlier in HONG KONG. Both sides exchanged information about the current situation of Macao infant milk market and the measures taken to solve the problem. Hotlines available to Macao consumers had been set up by some suppliers, enabling consumers to order directly from such suppliers; consumers could also get information on where to purchase certain brands of infant milk powder by calling hotlines set up in both Macao and Hong Kong. Suggestions were given by Macao government department representatives, including the listing of contact information of suppliers on website, and strengthening the promotion of inquiry hotlines and services to reach different levels of consumers. Infant milk powder suppliers were also asked to keep in contact with Macao agents and reserve a portion of stock in case any emergency happen in Macao. Suppliers in Hong Kong agreed to provide all the contact details and inquiry hotlines information to Macao Consumer Council for listing on its website. The Council will keep in touch with the said suppliers and contact others for further information to enhance its website. The public may visit the Council's website (www.consumer.gov.mo) for detailed information of brands such as Mead Johnson, Abbott, Wyeth, Friso, Nestle, and Snow Brand in the first phase. Meanwhile, infant milk powder suppliers are alerted to take note of the following: Suppliers should keep their promises in providing adequate supply of infant milk powder, retailers should also do business with moral responsibility by not selling infant milk powder in form of 'bundling' or provide milk powder to only the 'highest bidder'. World Health Organizati on recommends breast-feeding to infants under six months. Should milk powder is necessary due to certain reasons, parents should take caution when purchasing milk powder and see if such brand can be easily bought through different channels. Parents should seek for professional advice and guidance when infants need to change from one milk powder to another between different months and ages.
