I try to boycott them as much as possible. I thought the boycott nestle thing was just a weird Reddit thing until actually reading about this company. It’s pretty sickening.

IIRC that was deceptive marketing. It was something like selling non-formula as formula, or selling formula as better for babies than breastmilk.

Where I leave we were informed about the scandal after the products had been replaced. Makes me wonder what the priorities are.

ok then, just try and report ANYTHING directly to ANY mega corp and lets say you happen to finnaly get through to a human at that company, and they then try to push it up, while you are listening, and hear them bieng completly unable to do anything from within the company from there lowly level. It is an almost absolute guarantee that the top levels will not be required to be involved in this in any way, as this will be relegated to trumpeters and sin eaters, hired for just such occasions by there staff.

>Im always wondering why it takes them so long to find out and inform the public?

Problems with babies diets are hard to identify generally. Frankly I'm amazed this was identified with only 36 sick infants.

Consumers of baby formula are known for having a high baseline rate of spewing things out their holes and having a pretty high standard deviation on top of that rate. And of course the babies are getting older all this time and changing their diets and responses to things. So a large subset of parents are just gonna write it off as "I guess now that my baby is X months old this brand of formula gives him the shits/upsets their stomach." There's also likely confounding changes. And it's not like they can tell you "hey this tastes different than last week's". It's gonna take a while to ID that there's a problem and then actually correlate it to anything (consumption of a specific problem product in this case).

It's not like the kids are turning blue or some other "obviously not right" symptom. That'd be identified and root caused within the week of the first case.
