    If I had prepared this product as the packaging stated my baby would have ingested this.

    So how did you prepare it? There can't be many different ways to prepare baby porridge.


    I contacted Trading Standards

    How did you manage that?
    Trading Standards do not deal with the public. You need to contact the Citizen's Advice Centre.


    The obvious answer is they did neither of these things.

    If they had prepared it as the packaging said must mean the packaging said to prepare it in situ in the child's stomach in that case.

    It also means the op prepared it in a way contrary to the manufacturers method. That could be potentially harmful to a child. Should social services be alerted?

    I don't understand why the OP would want to contact further bodies, having already alerted the manufacturer, trading standards, and the local council (and possibly also the Food Standards Agency as suggested). That pretty much covers it unless they want to contact the press .....

    In fairness, My previous Local Authority had a phone number to leave messages for Trading Standards.

    Oh please - we'll have the sad face, screaming headlines about manufacturers not caring about danger to babies, appearance on breakfast t.v., plus an advance to write an expert's guide to safely feeding your baby from jar and tins. Not to mention compo!
