Nestlé-Free Zone mugs and key rings - order now for UK delivery for Christmas
Nestlé, the largest baby milk company, is the target of a boycott because it systematically breaks marketing rules.
Check out our Nestlé boycott list to have a Nestlé-Free Christmas. |

ORDER NOW to make the last posting date for Christmas.
The boycott makes a difference. For example, in October, Nestlé finally promised to stop promoting its infant formula as the “Natural Start” for babies. Executives had repeatedly defended this marketing strategy, but finally agreed to drop it when we ran a shaming campaign during its annual Global Forum.
There are other reasons you might want to show you are Nestlé Free. One is water: Nestlé is criticised for its impact on community water supplies. We raised these concerns when we heard that Nestlé was going to promote bottled water at Expo 2015 in Italy - now its bottled water is going to be replaced by cups so people can help themselves to tap water.
Nestle forced to remove misleading SMA Toddler Milk claims following Baby Milk Action complaint
In October we won a case at the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), proving that an ASDA/Nestlé email promotion for SMA Toddler Milk was misleading.
Despite the ruling, Nestlé continued to make the same claims on its product website and promoted this with an internet advertising campaign. So we had to take another case to the ASA. An investigation was launched and Nestlé has had to remove the claims from its website as well.
Help us to publicise the fact that ASDA and Nestlé have misled customers, because they are refusing to send a follow-up email with a correction.
