It applies to Sri Lankan media and Indians as well as BBC or CNN, DW, RT .CCTV etc.When a food is categorized as 'not healthy' it can be due to many reasons, eg sugar content, preservatives, nutritional value etc. It is known fact that all ready to drink milk(including Nestle-Milo) have a very high concentration sugar. This applies to local brands as well. What about other dairy products such as curd(SLS still does not have standard?), chocolates, yoghurt.. Only powdered milk in sri lanka have a good standard and it is compulsory to have it . So all milk powder conform to a standard and they are inspected not other products.What about products such as Kitul Treackle, Kitul Juggery, etc. So , before dealing with MNCs first we must put our house in order . If not it will be another Aflatoxin case?(local products have very high Aflatoxin including local coconut oil) If we want to impose health or any other standard it should be very carefully planned , not to get advantage to section of traders, but the consumers.</blockquote>
