After a news report said packaged goods major Nestle adds sugar and honey to its infant milk and cereal range sold in low- and middle-income countries, the company’s India unit has said that in the last five years it has reduced added sugars by up to 30 per cent in its infant cereal range.
UK’s Guardian news organisation reported on Wednesday the findings of Public Eye, a Swiss investigative group, which said that Nestle added sugar in the form of sucrose or honey in its Nido and Cerelac range sold in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
