Funding

Twenty\u2010one per cent (9/43) of HCPAs had publicly available COI/sponsorship policies. Among these, six received financial support from the CMF industry. The British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology was the only organisation explicitly stating in its \u2018Industry Policy\u2019 that it does not accept funding from companies that promote and directly manufacture formula milk [ 5 ]. This study was supported by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education (\u2018The Excellence Initiative\u2014Research University\u2019 program), grant number 0320/2020/20.
