Why Is Nestl¨¦ Adding High Levels Of Sugar In Indian Baby Foods But Not In Europe?
Nestl¨¦ faces scrutiny for adding high levels of sugar to Cerelac baby formula in India, averaging 3 grams per serving, while selling the same product without added sugar in Europe and the UK. This practice, criticized by experts as dangerous and addictive, exploits a loophole in Indian regulations that lack specific limits on added sugars in baby food. Nestl¨¦ defends its actions, citing compliance with local laws, but critics argue this approach raises ethical and public health concerns, urging stricter enforcement and global standards.
