: Swiss food and beverage giant Nestlé is being criticised for adding sugar to its baby food in some countries, according to analysis by an organisation, which campaigns for the observance of human rights by Swiss-based companies, reported German news agency .
“Nestlé is making babies and toddlers in lower-income countries addicted to sugar,“ said the report. Public Eye called on Nestlé to end “the double standards”. Nestlé did not dispute the results of the laboratory analyses when asked. However, samples from countries such as Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Ethiopia and Thailand were found to contain between 1.6 grammes and six grammes of added sugar per portion.
“We continue to develop and reformulate our infant cereals to further reduce the amount of added sugars without compromising on quality, safety and flavour. In some countries in Europe, there are products without added sugar, in addition to the traditional products with added sugar,“ Nestlé said.
