Is Nestle Adding Sugar to Baby Food in the Global South? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Consumer giant Nestle has been accused of adding sugar to baby products sold in global south countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Studies found that the same products sold in Western markets do not have added sugar, raising questions about the company's attitude towards lower- and middle-income countries. While most countries don't have stringent rules on limiting sugar levels in baby food, global guidelines warn against adding sugar to such products. Nestle claims it follows global guidelines and that recipes depend on local regulations and availability of ingredients. What explains Nestle's contrasting approach? Why is added sugar harmful for infants? Palki Sharma tells you.
