Frankly, Nestle. If not directly, then by having insufficient controls on the suppliers and distributors they use in assorted parts of the world. I’ve never seen any cases where Nestle products in Australia were not fine, but their track record in the developing world is inconsistent at best.
So many controversies and opinions out there and so many have been debunked yet debunking doesn’t seem to make a difference.
Many of the scandals on that page are confirmed. I don’t know of any that are debunked - you’d think they’d remove anything like that from the list. The whole ‘Our formula is better for your baby than breastfeeding’ campaign has to be one of the worst lies ever told in marketing, and that message is still strong in parts of the world. The Baby formula scandal in China is very real, and affects us in Australia as there is a whole market of buying (trusted) formula here and shipping it along with original Australian chemist receipts to China. Actually, I don’t know if that’s still going on today (it’s been a while since I shopped int he baby aisle), but it really affected local formula supplies/prices when my kids were babies.
I don’t disagree with you, but none of the sources on that Wikipedia page are from PETA. I also dislike PETA and don’t trust anything that group says.
But the Nestle controversies and unethical, anti-union behaviour is enough for me to boycott them (until now I guess, but I didn’t pay for the Purina stuff). But yeah, we also have to investigate the sources and use critical thinking and research to determine the factuality of the source, and whether they could be biased.
Who says they are unethical?
I’m just saying that because I just don’t believe what I read anymore.
The fact that they have their own controversies page on Wikipedia 😂

And who started those controversies?
eg, I also don’t believe peta.
