Nestle admits its products will never be healthy for Nigerians, others

Consumers of Nestle products are scattered around the world, including Nigeria where it owns the majority shares in Nestle Nigeria. Its famous products in the country are Maggi, Milo, KitKat, Nescafe, Milkybar, Aero, Orion, and Nestle Pure Life.

With its products saturated in the Nigerian market, Nestle admitted that its food and beverage goods will never be healthy for consumption when judged by international requirements for the healthy standard.

In an internal company document cited by Financial Times, Nestle said no matter how much it renovates, the company can't make most of its products to meet international health standard.

According to reports, 60% of consumer food and beverages produced by Nestle doesn't meet this requirement which is an Australian health star rating system.

The requirement is a five-star scale that demands a company's product to meet at least 3.5 stars to be considered healthy. Nestle claimed to have made improvements to score the asking scale, but it eventually fails.
