These are Nestlé’s main brand names. Some of their products have different individual names but most of them fall under these brand categories. The company is constantly buying and selling brands, however, so when in doubt, check the product’s label. Often, the Nestlé logo will not appear, but usually the Nestlé name can be found in the fine print.
Please stop buying Nestlé.

Forward this to your family and friends.
Nestle’s ongoing flaunting of international sanctions and all demands to cease their immoral marketing tactics with the “poorest of the poor” just show how this company’s focus on profits overrides any other factor. If we wealthy nations do not step up to the plate and shake them up by forcing this consumer boycott upon them, these criminals will continue to laugh all the way to the bank, the blood of these babies on their greedy hands.
Thank you for this important reminder to BOYCOTT ALL NESTLE PRODUCTS.
Sincerely,
Dan Maye
Thank you so much for this.
This shocking issue is profoundly disturbing yet so important for all consumers to find out about this. In spite of international condemnation and clear warnings from UNICEF and other agencies, Nestle is back at it, aggressively marketing infant formula to those who have no access to clean water or sterilization techniques, who have no money to continue buying Nestle formula once the free samples given to them in maternity clinics run out, who are known to actually mix flour and water together to make the baby’s bottle look as if it contains the Nestle formula they can no longer afford to purchase.
Nestle is thumbing their noses at wealthy first world countries and trusting that we won’t get too excited because it’s only those little brown babies that are dying far, far away.
I urge your readers to forward this link to every mother (and father) you know. Consumer boycotts work because they speak the only language companies like Nestle understand: the bottom line.
We CAN make a difference, one person at a time.
