Multinational food and beverage company Nestlé has been accused of violating health guidance by selling baby food with added sugar in low- and middle-income countries, including South Africa, while selling sugar-free alternatives with the same name and branding in Western markets.
This was the finding of a joint investigation by Public Eye and the International Baby Food Action Network (IBFAN), which analysed 150 Nestlé baby food products sold in lower- and middle-income countries. The nutrient values on the packaging were analysed and, where necessary, owing to opaque labelling, the products were sent to a laboratory for testing.
