Former Nestlé employee speaks out
Pakistan
has the highest infant mortality rates (IMR) in Southeast Asian
region. This high IMR is attributed mainly to diarrheal diseases,
the ever-increasing incidence of which is due to a growing trend
of bottle feeding. For this, the baby food manufacturers are
the main culprit as they make use of all kinds of unethical marketing
practice to convince mothers to initiate artificial feeding.
I, as a former employee of Nestlé Milkpak Ltd. Have been
a part of this malpractice, but a stage came where I could not
bear it any more and ultimately decided to quit this company.
