To the editor:

n Supermarket Baby (Nov. 13) described how Beech-Nut is taking advantage of a report by the Center for Science in the Public Interest to publicize its baby foods.

CSPI's report found that many products made by Beech-Nut, Earth's Best and Growing Healthy are superior to those made by Gerber and Heinz. We are pleased to see companies competing on the basis of nutritional value and purity, but CSPI does not permit its name to be used in advertising; Beech-Nut has agreed to modify its advertisements.
