Nestlé management and general organization. Involved in, but not limited to:

Child slavery:

To harvest their cocoa, children 12 to 14 years old (sometimes younger) were forced to do hard manual labor 80 to 100 hours a week, paid nothing, barely fed and beaten regularly

Infanticide:

Contributed to the death and suffering of infants around the world by aggressively and deceptively marketing baby foods, in breach of international standards

Theft and privatization of water:

Drains developing countries’ groundwater to make bottled water, destroying their natural resources and forces locals to buy their own water back. In California, while suffering the worst drought in over a millennia, Nestle continues to illegally pump out water to sell back to the public for profit

Nestlé adds sugar to infant milk sold in poorer countries, report finds

Swiss food firm’s infant formula and cereal sold in global south ignore WHO anti-obesity guidelines for Europe, says Public Eye

Nestlé, the world’s largest consumer goods company, adds sugar and honey to infant milk and cereal products sold in many poorer countries, contrary to international guidelines aimed at preventing obesity and chronic diseases, a report has found.

Campaigners from Public Eye, a Swiss investigative organisation, sent samples of the Swiss multinational’s baby-food products sold in Asia, Africa and Latin America to a Belgian laboratory for testing.

The results, and examination of product packaging, revealed added sugar in the form of sucrose or honey in samples of Nido, a follow-up milk formula brand intended for use for infants aged one and above, and Cerelac, a cereal aimed at children aged between six months and two years.

In Nestlé’s main European markets, including the UK, there is no added sugar in formulas for young children. While some cereals aimed at older toddlers contain added sugar, there is none in products targeted at babies between six months and one year.

• The Swiss corporation Nestle is one of the largest food producers in the world, doing business in 187 countries. Despite the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine, Nestle continues to operate in the aggressor state, supplying goods to its population and expanding its production base in the country. On this basis, the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) is including the company in the list of international sponsors of the war.*

Hello, and a big FUCK YOU to Nestle!

I wanted to start a thread where we could share any Nestle-alternative products we have come across! I will get the ball rolling with what I have found over the years:

KitKat- KitKats used to be my very favorite candy, so I was bummed when I learned they are made by Nestle. This is now my go-to alternative: https://norwegianfoodstore.com/products/kvikk-lunsj-chocolate-3-x-47-gram

Kiehl's skincare products- I used to use Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream, but now use e.l.f Holy Hydration face cream, which has the same ingredients and costs much less per ounce https://www.elfcosmetics.com/elf-skin

Starbucks ground/whole bean coffee- Some of the bags you buy in the supermarket are made by Nestle (you have to check the back and sides of the bag to be sure). I stopped buying Starbucks and started buying bags of whole bean from a local coffee shop that roasts their own

Garnier hair care products- I dye my hair frequently and used to use Garnier product, whose parent company is L'Oreal, which is owned by Nestle. I now use Clairol instead

For a large list of Nestle-owned products, see Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nestl%C3%A9_brands

What are some Nestle-alternative brands that others here have found and enjoy?
