Nestle Boycott

"Nestlé, the world's largest baby food company, increases profits by promoting artificial infant feeding in violation of the World Health Organisation's International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes. Nestlé knows that once a bottle has become between a mother and her child breastfeeding is more likely to fail and the company has gained a customer. Because of Nestlé's continued disrespect for the International Code and infant health the company is subject to a consumer boycott of its products in 18 countries (Australia, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Mauritius, Mexico, Norway, Philippines, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, UK and USA). The boycott will continue until Nestlé abides by the International Code and subsequent World Health Assembly Resolutions in policy and practice." -- Baby Milk Action

WHO's Breastmilk Substitute Code - Nestle continues to violate this code.
INFACT Canada - 1.5 million infants die every year from diseases related to artificial feeding? In countries where widespread poverty exists, infants fed with artificial baby milks (infant formulas), or supplemented with artificial feeding, face four to sixteen fold increased risk of dying from diarrhoeal disease compared to exclusively breastfed infants?
Baby Food Action - Every 30 seconds a baby dies from unsafe bottle feeding in the Third World.
Nestle in the McSpotlight - Nestle holds about 50% of the world's breast milk substitute market and is being boycotted for continued breaches of the 1981 WHO Code regulating the marketing of breast milk substitutes.
Yes! The Nestle Boycott is On! - According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF about 1.5 million babies die every year because they were not breastfed. Nestlé is the world's largest babymilk seller and in the past has agreed to adhere to the World Health Organization International Code of Marketing of Breast-Milk Substitutes. However, breastfeeding action groups around the world discovered quickly enough that Nestlé's claims and Nestlé's actions are two different things.
Action for Corporate Accountability - Action for Corporate Accountability works to expose the corporate practices that undermine breastfeeding and to provide families with informed choice concerning infant feeding decisions.
