Nestlé's mysterious tale
Detection of interesting layers
** Nestlé, a huge food conglomerate, with its vast empire spanning across continents, boasts a dark belly of crimes and scandals that defy the mind. The saga begins with an evil substitute created by the company, disguised as breast milk, and unleashing a wave of deaths. But the deception did not stop there; they recruited doctors to distribute this deadly product, and dressed their employees in nurses' clothes to influence public opinion. Offender? Drought in large swathes of the country, and a frightening decision by the CEO of Nestlé declaring that water is a privilege, not a right. When the video was revealed to me, countless questions were trapped in my mind. How can such a malicious entity thrive to such enormous proportions? My confusion deepened as I went deeper into the depths of the Nestlé labyrinth. You were
I once consider it a mere company,
oblivious to its stranglehold on more than 2,000 subsidiaries in 186 countries.
Each family inadvertently participates in its products, which leads to the perpetuation
of its rule unintentionally. However, in the midst of this widespread hatred,
one question remains: how did Nestlé, which was seemingly benign in its
beginning, evolve into this giant company of irregularities? The answer lies in the story of one
man - Henry Nestle. Born in Germany, his early endeavors as an ordinary glass
craftsman were overshadowed by
Because of his fondness for chemistry. His dreams of becoming a pharmacist haunted him, until his father's warning forced him to emigrate to Switzerland, where the nucleus of Nestlé's empire now exists. Switzerland has proven to be a breeding ground for Nestlé's entrepreneurial spirit. Experiments on pharmaceuticals and spirits yielded little success, until a new concept was found - infant formula. Recognizing the plight of malnourished children in the nineteenth century, Nestlé embarked on a mission to develop livelihoods that could support them. His altruism, evident in his wife's tireless advocacy and personal health struggle, strengthened his determination. But the road to philanthropy was fraught with it.
with ethical dilemmas. Nestlé's formula, described as the lifeblood of infants, contained a mysterious secret – it was not suitable for certain circumstances, which led to disastrous consequences. With the beginning of the era of industrialization in the nineteenth century, Nestlé products became the solution for poor families deprived of sustenance. Behind the guise of philanthropy, however, corporate greed lurking, with Nestlé's monopoly tightened. Follows...
**Revelation continues: Nestlé's moral dilemmas** As the plot intensifies, Nestlé's adventure in the world of motherhood emphasizes a new sense of altruism. Recognizing the plight of mothers unable to breastfeed, Nestlé embarked on a mission to develop an alternative food. Behind the façade of goodness, however, lies a blend of cow's milk, sugar, vegetable oil, and wheat, which is far from the nutrition required for children. However, this elixir became the cornerstone of Nestlé's success, paving the way for a huge jump in profits. But what lies beneath the surface is an endeavor
Calculated to exploit the vulnerability of mothers around the world. Nestlé's marketing strategies have veered into an ethically ambiguous area, portraying its product as superior to breast milk. The implicit suggestion that insufficient breastfeeding led to a rift between mothers and their infants, generating a culture of dependence on the Nestlé formula. The repercussions of Nestlé's campaign were far-reaching, as communities around the world struggled with the fallout from artificial feeding of children. However, Nestlé remained unchecked, using its influence to perpetuate the myth of superiority. The publication of articles promoting Nestlé's formula as superior to breast milk fueled a story that resonated with mothers around the world.
Amid the excitement of Nestlé's rise, a pivotal moment in the company's history unfolded in 1970. Encouraged by its success, Nestlé launched a near-coercive campaign, enticing mothers to give up breastfeeding in favor of its formula. The insidious hint that Nestlé's product is indispensable for infant feeding has led to a rift between mothers
and their natural instincts. As Nestlé's dominance has strengthened, so has its appetite for expansion. In 1985, the acquisition of their biggest competitor, Milkmaid, strengthened their grip on the market. The merger was the embodiment of Nestlé's way of working: striving for market share, regardless of ethical considerations. The story of Nestlé, woven with the threads of altruism and greed, makes us grapple with moral ambiguity. While Henry Nestlé's intentions may have been noble, the company's evolution into a tyrant blurs the lines between philanthropy and profiteering. As we peel off the layers of Nestlé's history, we are confronted with a disturbing truth: the pursuit of profit often comes at the expense of morality.
Stay tuned for the next episode, where we delve deeper into Nestlé's legacy of exploitation and examine the lasting impact of their corporate conquests. When it comes to infant formula, it's not just about quality and nutrition, it's also about a world of marketing policies and cultural influences. In the seventies, the use of infant formula spread widely, under the guidance of
One of the famous influencers who have had a tremendous impact on people. Doctors have also begun to encourage the use of the formula for infants, although there is no scientific support for this guidance. Nestlé Milk, one of the leading brands in this context, is active in marketing its products, involving mothers in the marketing process by distributing free samples. In addition, the company has supported new maternity hospital projects, resulting in increased demand for its products in developing countries. What was not revealed at the time, however, was the negative impact of these policies on public health. There were no stringent procedures to verify the quality of the water used to prepare infant formula in developing countries, resulting in increased cases of diarrhoea and mortality among children. Eventually, thanks to WHO investigations and due to pressure from the international community, strict regulations were imposed on the infant formula industry, with tight control over marketing and promotion. However, these companies still use similar strategies in developing countries, making the need for awareness and product quality verification essential to the health of children in those countries.
Article: "Scandal Narrative: My Offspring and Settlement Provisions"
In 2018, a stunning graph revealed that food companies were not complying with the prescribed laws, and Nestley was at the top of the list. But the problem was not limited to this year, but has moved to areas of less importance in developed countries. This was the beginning of the new scandal that will shake the world.
Nestly, a giant in the food industry, has reached the center stage as the world's largest bottled water manufacturer. Owning more than 50 water companies around the world, it has put it at the top. In 2005, the CEO of the company highlighted Nestley's strategy in this area. Nestly benefited tremendously from the sale of water, making huge profits from the sale of water tankers at exorbitant prices.
But the most attractive business for them was in poor countries. For example, in Pakistan, where the water problem was considered vital, Nesli was able to tip the scales. by exploiting it
Due to poor water availability, it marketed its products at high prices, prompting people to drink contaminated water. This is where Nestley's strategy comes into play, as it has taken over water resources and raised their prices, which has negatively affected the quality of water available to the population.
Nestley was not the only one to take advantage of conditions in developing countries. In Nigeria, big chocolate companies got their hands on cocoa crops in an inhumane commercial way, with children forced to work under difficult conditions without adequate compensation. In 2021, Nestley succeeded in absolving herself of slavery charges, while the other failed to provide clear evidence of her unjust practices.
These scandals shed light on corrupt business practices that work at the expense of humanity and the environment, and make us wonder about the role of giant corporations in serving society and protecting the environment, and whether legal settlements are enough to stop these unjust practices.
After a deep look at the interesting narrative I presented, we find that Nestley is not an ordinary company at all, it is a giant in the food world, but nevertheless, the amount of crimes and scandals that surround it is not commensurate with its huge size. Let's start with the fatal formula scandal for which Nestley was convicted, paying doctors to promote the product and dressing its employees in nurse clothes to convince people of it. The reason for this was drought in some poor areas.
Despite promises of improvement, a recent report showed that there is still a rise in sugar levels in Nesley products in some countries, raising questions about the company's commitment to global health standards.
But it's not just sugar, but the scandals also include accusations of raising product prices to increase profits, prompting the company to pay huge damages. But do these sanctions affect the company? Of course not, it has
The company has demonstrated its ability to deal with crises and respond to them effectively without any impact on its reputation or profits.
Despite all these scandals, the wonder remains about how Nestley's success and reach will continue. But when we examine its roots, we find that its founder, Henry Nestley, had a clear vision, and his main goal was to help children and provide them with nutritional solutions.
So, Nestly may indeed be a giant company, but in the end, we have the question: is it possible that big companies are unimaginably linked to crimes and scandals? This is a question that requires a comprehensive answer and thorough investigation about business ethics and corporate responsibility towards society and the environment.
"How Nestlé has turned breastfeeding upside down and caused social and health transformations"
The trajectory of humanity seems to have changed after Nestlé got to the game. The company simply started as a company that produces and markets milk and chocolate products, but quickly turned into a marketing force that influences the customs and traditions of societies.
Nestlé has exploited marketing and advertising developments to change the thinking about breastfeeding. Through its advertising campaigns and the use of celebrities as leverage, the company has succeeded in convincing mothers that their formula milk is the perfect alternative to breast milk.
Here, the company's ethics emerge, which follows the line of profit regardless of negative health or social impacts. Marketing infant formula as a substitute for breast milk without instructing mothers to sterilize bottles or prepare milk properly has led to an increase in poisoning and malnutrition among children in developing countries. Nestlé's strategy was to create need.
for their products instead of meeting an already existing need. Instead of promoting breastfeeding, the company made mothers believe that its formula was the only option.
In the end, Nestlé's story is a lesson in how marketing power can be used to change behaviors and beliefs, and a warning to communities of the potential dangers of aggressive marketing without considering the health and social implications.

The scandal exposed by Nestley has been revealed.
For practicing unethical policies in marketing its products, where it exploited the need of mothers to provide the best for their children and sold its products without taking into account the circumstances surrounding consumers. Moreover, investigations have revealed the company's involvement in the exploitation of small labor in some developing countries, including the use of children in the production of raw materials such as cocoa.
These unethical behaviors of Nestley were not limited to the marketing of its products, but also extended to the company's seizure of water resources in some poor countries, which led to the deterioration of the environmental situation and the shortage of water resources in those countries.
Despite the efforts made by some international organizations to expose these behaviors and impose laws to prevent them, these unethical policies continue to this day, indicating the need for continued international efforts to hold accountable companies that seek profits at the expense of human rights and the environment.

It turns out that Nestley has not only unethical marketing policies, but the scandals have exposed its dangerous practices in manufacturing products as well. After Watch Daggs revealed excess sugar levels in its products, we found that the company does not adhere to health standards in developing countries, where large amounts of sugar are added without a clear indication to the packages.
The data shows that in countries such as Thailand, Ethiopia, South Africa, India, and Bangladesh, large amounts of sugar are added to Nesley products, while signs on packages remain insufficiently clear to consumers.
What is surprising is that despite the company's adherence to health standards in developed countries such as Britain and Germany, it completely ignores these standards in developing countries, suggesting that these policies are not the result of chance, but rather part of a deliberate strategy to increase sales and profit at the expense of consumer health.
Adding to the complexity is that the company, despite pledging to phase out sugar in its products by the end of the year, cannot fully trust that this pledge will be implemented, especially with the lack of effective penalties imposed on it for non-compliance.
This
bitter reality raises questions about how the food sector in general operates,
and encourages us to look for more facts behind closed doors.
