Nestle Accused of Adding Sugar to Baby Food In Developing Countries

Is Nestle Adding Sugar to Baby Food in the Global South? -In a surprise exposé, Nestlé, the world's largest consumer goods company, has been accused of deliberately adding sugar to infant milk and cereal products sold in many developing countries in Africa and across the globe. This practice is a direct violation of international norms aimed at reducing obesity and chronic diseases. Even more concerning is the fact that Nestlé does not add sugar to the infant milk and cereal products sold in European markets, prompting widespread outrage and accusations of double standards, with many questioning why Nestlé can adhere to health guidelines for Europe but ignore standards for developing countries.

The report exposing Nestlé was put together by the Swiss investigative organization Public Eye, which sent samples of the multinational corporation’s baby food items distributed in Asia, Africa, and Latin America to a Belgian laboratory for analysis. The results, as well as an analysis of product labels, revealed the presence of added sugar in the form of sucrose or honey in samples of Nido, a follow-up milk formula brand designed for infants aged one and above, and Cerelac, a cereal marketed to children aged six months to two years. Interestingly, Nestlé's key European markets, including the United Kingdom, do not include added sugar in infant formulae. While some cereals for older children contain added sugar, products for babies aged six months to one year have none.

This is what happened when you choose to rely on your enemies for everything.

Not really surprised....its a French company. And we know how the French feels about Africa. No worse than Johnson and Johnson!! Africa has the knowledge to make her own baby's milk. Hopefully this is a wake up call!

They do it because it’s a cheap filler and they know that we think that their milk is better than our breastmilk.

Stop yearning for modern life to the detriment of you & your children's health!

Why are we still eating food prepared by people who hate us? Have you not notice that the food is making you sicker? Keeping you feeling hungry all the time?
