Why can't I find the American Nestle companies list?

[mama24-7]

I've been searching through the old threads here & other resources I have & have not found the list of American Nestle companies. Does anyone have a link?

TIA!

I've never been able to find a good, clear list for those of us living in the States. I would love it if someone could post one here.

Here's a list...

I don't think you are allowed to talk about formula on this board. :

That is incorrect. You are welcome to discuss formula as it applies to Lactivism. Boycotting a company that has unethical marketing practices and actively seeks to undermine breastfeeding certainly is part of Lactivism. Feel free to PM me with any other questions.

If anyone finds a list that is not a Nestle website, please post it here. I hate to give their website any traffic, even if it is checking out products to boycott.

I hadn't even thought about going to their website--whenever I searched it was always "nestle boycott" so their own list never came up of course

Thanks for the linkies!

ETA: WOW. I can't believe how they present themselves as a health/nutrition company... I've always associated them with chocolate, coffeemate stuff, and formula... seeing their homepage and understanding how they must try to present themselves to the world (and Europe mostly I guess) is infuriating!

there are some things that are Nestle that aren't on this list. Like Juicy Juice, Oh wait, the list is really really long!

If I transpose this will it be made a sticky?

estlé milk products as a risk free, healthful or more healthful option than breastmilk.

From Wiki I never knew they had such high remarks about themselves!

I believe that Nestle is owned by a very large pharmaceutical company aswell.....

They have taken over gerber baby foods as well.

I did find this on their site

Breast milk is best for babies. Before you decide to use an infant formula consult your doctor or clinic for advice.

I'm sure they were forced to put it there.

Some brands that you may not realize are cheerios, body shop, san pelligrino and more. Seriously check out the lists mommas.

I had too and DS has a lot of white gerber onesies. I will use what I've got but will not buy more.

My sisters are wanting to boycott now so I'm also searching for a good comprehensive list for them.

ok that wiki site has a ton of info. thanks, why didn't I think of wiki, lol.

I found haagen daz and multi-grain cheerios from the nestle website and wikipedia. When I go to the General Mils website I see haagen Daz and Cheerios but I don't find anything concrete linking General Mills and Nestle. Can somebody help me out? this is an issue for me because even at mdc I see so many people use cheerios as a basic snack or part of their babies diet. I would like to get my facts straight. If one is owned by the other that greatly expands the list of companies.

TIA for any help.

I know! I don't want to buy Cheerios for dd if GM is joint with Nestle. From the next post, it looks like they are in other countries, but wouldn't that make them joint regardless?
