Controversy level
- Nestlé SA has faced sustained scrutiny since the historic 1977-present 'Nestlé Boycott' (originally over Nestlé infant formula marketing in developing countries, including the 1974 'The Baby Killer' report) and the contested 2024 sustained Nestlé Cerelac/Cerelac infant cereal sugar content disparities (February 2024 Public Eye/IBFAN investigation found Nestlé adds 4+ grams sugar to Cerelac sold in Asia/Africa/Latin America vs zero in European versions) affecting global infant nutrition customer practices.
