Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 74836, member: 636"] Nestle got caught selling baby cereal loaded with sugar across Africa while their European versions have zero sweeteners, and a Swiss watchdog group called them out for violating WHO rules that say kids under two should never touch added sugar. Lab tests on nearly 100 Cerelac products from 20 African countries showed 90% had sweeteners, with some Kenyan baby food packs almost two sugar cubes per serving. A bunch of African health groups sent an angry letter to the CEO, saying the company is putting profits over babies and demanding they pull the sugary products off shelves. Nestle fired back, claiming they treat all kids the same and are rolling out sugar-free options everywhere by year's end, but the evidence shows they are selling different formulas depending on where parents live. The whole mess is happening while childhood obesity rates are exploding on the continent. [/QUOTE]
