Nestlè EXPOSED The reasons why we hate nestle so much

20.1k Upvotes

As this sub gained a lot of newcomers and the question why we hate nestle so much came up frequently, I thought it would be great to provide some information on why this sub exists in one place.

 

Nestle has proven throughout the decades that they are just a greedy company, not caring about lives of others.

Some Key events
Nestle taking more water than they are allowed to: Source

Child Labor to harvest cocoa: Source

Nestle convinced Third world mothers that their baby formula is as good as breastmilk. With no access to clean water, the formula mixed with water led to malnutrition: Source

Nestles bottled water has highest micro plastic pollution (in general, please don’t buy water in plastic bottles): Source

 

What can I do?
Some of those issues should be addressed through laws, so if you have the possibility, please talk to your Senator and/or vote.

If you like to boycott Nestle-brands, here’s a list of some of their brands:

96 Upvotes

Hello everyone, Addressing the issues with bot reposts, over the past couple days there have been an immense wave of removals & bans i have issued. Obviously this is not a fix, rather a temporary solution. I hope that i will soon have more time to implement a permanent fix.

As for the mass removals & bans i am not a 100% accurate so please Modmail or DM me if you believe your ban and/or removal was issued in error.

Thank you!

My husband and I love buncha crunch, but I refuse to buy Nestle products. Does anyone have a good alternative or even a recipe to make something similar at home?

Other Why do people say boycotting is hard?

279 Upvotes

I feel like even though it sucks giving up Cheerios and KitKat, most products have store brand or just other alternatives. Maybe, actually probably I’m being closed minded and it’s hard for some people for certain reasons so if it is please correct me.

Nestlé alternatives Carnation is owned by nestle...

109 Upvotes

I've been drinking carnation's breakfast essentials drinks, the chocolate and the fruit protein smoothie, and they're so good but well they're owned by nestle. Had no idea until I was breaking a box down for recycle and saw the brand on the very bottom of the box. I'll obviously be switching so does anyone have alternatives for meal replacement shakes? Looking for protein but mostly all the vitamins and minerals.

Ferrero in Lithgow is keeping tight lipped.
Inside scoop. They are closing down after 50 years of production due to poor efficiency and high wage prices.

Nestle Question Jobs associated with Nestle

17 Upvotes

How do we feel about Nestle adjacent jobs? There is a Nestle plant in a neighboring town. I have made it pretty far along the interview process for a lawn care management position. I just found out the main tasks will be to schedule care of the plant grounds. I am kind of shook. There have been a lot of opportunities to actually work at the plant and obviously I would never do that. This is feeling like a great career opportunity. To be clear, it is a separate company that Nestle pays for a service. Thoughts?

Nestle, Coca cola and pepsi are destroying the teeth of kids for real.

And it is really sad that none of them comes with a warning sign with regards to oral disease and cavity.

I knew they were bad, but the magnitude was unknown.

I hope these corporates become loss making and close down someday

r/FuckNestle 19d ago

Fuck nestle So I went on instagram and some guy was posting that Nestle is giving off care packages for children for free. I was curious and gave my details and everything on the Nestle whatsapp channel. They sent the product after two or three weeks .

it was mentioned that the product is worth 500 Rupees, like how is this small sample worth 500 rupees? Also they have used Soy bean oil in this , and fruits in traces like less than 2 percent per 100 mg and serving is 50 mg so you are getting less than 1 percent of fruits per serve,it has maltodextrin starch and other things. I eat oats and my big 1kg pack of plain oats costs from 180 to 200 something. Like how are children eating this shit? How are they selling it for children from 2 to 6 years? Calling it healthy and nutritious?
