The "Nestlé boycott" refers to a global movement against the multinational food and beverage company, Nestlé. This boycott began in the 1970s, primarily due to concerns over the company's marketing of infant formula in developing countries, which some argued undermined breastfeeding and posed health risks to infants. Over the years, the boycott has expanded to include various issues, such as Nestlé's water extraction practices and its role in promoting unhealthy food products. Activists and organizations continue to call for consumers to avoid Nestlé products to protest these practices and advocate for ethical business conduct.
