John,
Nestlé will hurt anyone to make a buck – even babies.
The company is pumping its baby food products in some countries with
maximum sugar, while claiming they’re healthy for children. It’s a lie -
and Nestlé knows it. It just prefers to get its tiniest customers addicted
as early as possible so parents keep buying.
This is a public health nightmare, but we have a way to force them to
stop. Our partner is working with local groups in Brazil, South Africa,
and Indonesia to take legal action to shut down Nestlé’s lies.
If our community can raise enough, we can get them the cash they need
quickly to take on Nestlé, and win – then continue our work to fight
against corporate power worldwide. Can you help?

A new study revealed just how low Nestlé will go. Baby cereals that had no
added sugar in Switzerland, Germany, France, and the UK, contained
unhealthy levels of sugar in the Philippines, South Africa, and Thailand.
Why? Because they know sugar tastes good, and will keep kids coming back
to their products. So they take full advantage in countries with fewer
regulations…and millions of babies are paying the price.
Nestlé knows full well how dangerous this is. The World Health
Organization says that foods with natural sugar like fruit are safe for
infants and children, but warns against added sugar for babies because it
can mean a future of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
The problem is, no one is forcing Nestlé to stop…until now.
Nestlé advertises these products as healthy…but the clear fact is that
baby food pumped full of sugar is NOT HEALTHY. So our partners in Brazil,
South Africa, and Indonesia have an exciting plan to take legal action
demanding Nestlé stop its misleading marketing – or stop adding sugar to
its baby food. It’s our best shot at forcing them to change NOW, but legal
strategies like this are expensive and the local groups need the resources
to pull it off. Plus, the push to change international standards could
take years of campaigning.
Can you chip in to show Nestlé that putting babies at risk in the name of
profits is outrageous – and finally force it to stop pumping babies across
the planet with sugar?

Your donation will help power Ekō and our campaigns worldwide fighting for
people and the planet.
A couple of months back, our community turned up the heat on Nestlé by
placing a truckload of boxes outside HQ symbolising 10 million sugar
cubes—the amount of ADDED SUGAR in Nestlé’s Cerelac baby products consumed
DAILY in low- and middle-income countries – and hung huge banners
calling-out the company’s double-standards.
Now, if enough of us chip in, we can help FORCE them to change course.
Let’s do it, together.
Thanks for all that you do,
Allison and the Ekō team
