John,

Nestlé will hurt anyone to make a buck – even babies.

The company is pumping its baby food products in some countries with maximum sugar, while claiming they’re healthy for children. It’s a lie - and Nestlé knows it. It just prefers to get its tiniest customers addicted as early as possible so parents keep buying.

This is a public health nightmare, but we have a way to force them to stop. Our partner is working with local groups in Brazil, South Africa, and Indonesia to take legal action to shut down Nestlé’s lies.

If our community can raise enough, we can get them the cash they need quickly to take on Nestlé, and win – then continue our work to fight against corporate power worldwide. Can you help?

A new study revealed just how low Nestlé will go. Baby cereals that had no added sugar in Switzerland, Germany, France, and the UK, contained unhealthy levels of sugar in the Philippines, South Africa, and Thailand. Why? Because they know sugar tastes good, and will keep kids coming back to their products. So they take full advantage in countries with fewer regulations…and millions of babies are paying the price. 

Nestlé knows full well how dangerous this is. The World Health Organization says that foods with natural sugar like fruit are safe for infants and children, but warns against added sugar for babies because it can mean a future of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

The problem is, no one is forcing Nestlé to stop…until now. 

Nestlé advertises these products as healthy…but the clear fact is that baby food pumped full of sugar is NOT HEALTHY. So our partners in Brazil, South Africa, and Indonesia have an exciting plan to take legal action demanding Nestlé stop its misleading marketing – or stop adding sugar to its baby food. It’s our best shot at forcing them to change NOW, but legal strategies like this are expensive and the local groups need the resources to pull it off. Plus, the push to change international standards could take years of campaigning.

Can you chip in to show Nestlé that putting babies at risk in the name of profits is outrageous – and finally force it to stop pumping babies across the planet with sugar?

A couple of months back, our community turned up the heat on Nestlé by placing a truckload of boxes outside HQ symbolising 10 million sugar cubes—the amount of ADDED SUGAR in Nestlé’s Cerelac baby products consumed DAILY in low- and middle-income countries – and hung huge banners calling-out the company’s double-standards.

Now, if enough of us chip in, we can help FORCE them to change course. Let’s do it, together.
