> Nestlé, the world’s largest consumer goods company, adds sugar and honey to infant milk and cereal products sold in many poorer countries, contrary to international guidelines aimed at preventing obesity and chronic diseases, a report has found.
So they've done nothing illegal and people are free to buy another product.
Why is this even news?
> WHO guidelines for the European region say no added sugars or sweetening agents should be permitted in any food for children under three. While no guidance has been specifically produced for other regions, researchers say the European document remains equally relevant to other parts of the world.
So "researchers" wrote this article because Nestle sells a product that the WHO disagrees with? Who fucking cares? It's sugar.
