Health Promotion Department Statement on "Dinja Wahda Environmental School Award"

PR1935
Date Icon 19/11/1996
The Health Promotion Department refers to a press report relatingto the "Dinja Wahda Environmental School Award" scheme organised by MedEcology and Birdlife Malta published in one of the Sunday newspapers.
This scheme, launched in schools by MedEcology and Birdlife Maltaand sponsored by Farsons is in breach of the Malta Food and Nutrition Policy (1988). The direct promotion of fruit juices and squashes amongst schoolchildren is counterproductive to the Department of Health's efforts to safeguard child health.
In discussions held with the Health Promotion Department it wasemphasised that the scheme would only fall within the Nutrition Policy if it promoted the light fruit juice and/or light squash. Furthemore, an agreement had been reached between the same Department and the organisers regarding the launching of a poster competition against tobacco within the same scheme. This fact was not even referred to in the press report under reference.
