Nestlé

Nestlé has been the subject of boycott calls around the world since the 1970s for its marketing of baby milk formula. It is accused of "contributing to the unnecessary death and suffering of infants" through its aggressive marketing practices, which campaigners allege promote baby milk formula as a superior option to breastfeeding.

In November 2023 Baby Milk Action said in an email to Ethical Consumer that Nestle is "interfering with governments who are trying to bring in strong laws to protect child health and survival. It’s still essential to protect and support women who want to breastfeed – a lifeline that provides food, nurturing care and immune support for so many babies."
