The Nestle Boycott
Why
In order to sell more of its infant formula in third world countries, Nestle
would hire women with no special training and dress them up as nurses to give out free
samples of Nestle formula. The free samples lasted long enough for the mother's breast
milk to dry up from lack of use. Then mothers would be forced to purchase the formula but,
being poor, they would often mix the formula with unsanitary water or 'stretch' the amount
of formula by diluting it with more water than recommended. The result was that babies
starved all over the Third World while Nestle made huge profits from this predatory
marketing strategy.
Then
In 1977, a world-wide boycott was launched against the Nestle Corporation, which
was found to be the most unethical of the several companies selling baby formula at the
time. Consumers all across the world stopped purchasing Nestle products. The
World Health Organization drafted the International Code
on the Marketing of Breast Milk Substitutes, which was signed by much of the world in
the early '80's and finally by the United States in 1994.
Now
After a brief hiatus the Nestle boycott was relaunched in 1988 and continues to this day.
A recent report called "Cracking
the Code" outlines the many present-day violations of the W.H.O. code. This
report is available from UNICEF at:

Presently, the International boycott of Nestle products covers 18
countries: Australia, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,
Mauritius, Mexico, Norway, Philippines, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, UK and
USA. The International Boycott is presently being coordinated by Baby Milk Action.
What You Can Do
Nestlé, is the world's largest baby food company and increases it's profits by promoting
artificial infant feeding in violation of the W.H.O. code that has been signed by the US
and many other nations. 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
best thing you can do is stop purchasing Nestle products.
