The ethical considerations in such international research were raised in the 1990s and several ethical guidelines specifically addressing international research were published.1 2 However, in 2022, we still find examples of research undertaken by HIC principal investigators and funders, with no benefit and large potential for harm, being undertaken in LMICs.enPublic healthFormula milkChild healthNutritionAfricaQuestioning the ethics of international research on formula milk supplementation in low-income African countriesArticle
