Does Nestlé promote baby milk in developing countries?
Promotional activities of infant formula (e.g. special displays, discounts, gifts, etc.) in supermarkets or pharmacies are against Nestlé policy. Our policy is communicated to the distributors, wholesalers and retailers of our infant formula products. We work with them to ensure that they fully understand the requirements of the WHO Code and we include clauses on the respect of the Code and of our policies in our contracts with them. However, sometimes among the many thousands of retailers who sell our infant formula products, there are some who make mistakes. When we are informed or find out about promotional activities at point of sale, we immediately ask retailers to stop them.
