The Indian government has taken the lead in challenging @Nestle's double standards. What steps are @HealthZA, @SAHRCommission and @TheNCC_RSA taking to investigate and protect the health and nutrition of young children in South Africa from harmful business practices?

@lorilakethetha @vandykjoan @Nestle Litigation is needed.
In light of the news that Nestle is shamelessly and dangerously pumping sugar into BABIES in my country, let's not forget all the other terrible things they have done in the past. I am starting a list and will go first: theguardian.com/global-develop…
In 2022, WHO called for a ban on added sugars and sweeteners in food products for babies and children under the age of three, so why is @Nestle selling them to children in Africa? Who profits and who pays the price?

Just think about this: Nestle literally so not sell this in the countries where their shareholders and executives live because this is really really bad for kids and they obviously dont want to poison their own kids.
