this morning the italian police started raiding Nestle warehouses throughout italy seizing a number of product ranges amounting to 30 million litres of treated dairy products marketed to nursing mothers.
The reason being they have been found to contain chemicals assocaited with embalming processes, which is unsurprisingly illegal in both Italy and the EU.
Nestle, known to some as the "famine corporation" though Swiss owned, takes over 85% of its profits from sales of "food" in other countries.
The corporation has been long been directly linked to famine, ironically considering it sells sweeties. But it works like this, nestle aggresively market their "baby milk" to nursing mothers in africa and asia as a "healthier" alternative to breast milk. To overcome initial mistrust, they offer free samples through an established network of midwives and hospital workers.
Like a schoolyard drug dealer, "the first fix is free" thereafter you pay- and handsomely considering the economic position of nursing mothers in the third world, and lucratively considering that in most countries such products still carry a "luxury tax".
The problems begin with mixing the solution.
The vital ingredient is "clean water" something which is not that freely available in the third world. A lack not un-noticed by nestle who have long fought to corner the market in "bottled clean water". A fight they've almost won, as demonstrated by their supply of "clean water" to the recent victims of Hurricane Katrina courtesy of Dick Cheney's supply corporation "halliburton".
If a mother can not mix powdered baby mily with clean water, the child is not guaranteed "good food". Added to this, is the lack of "measuring cups", very few mothers use the exact amount and the resulting "milk" falls short of :-
*wholesome
*nutritional
*natural.
indeed some scientists engaged by "anti-nestle" activists in the last 10 years have suggested that this corporation which is capable of "feeding the world" has added addictive chemicals to its nursing mothers milk formulae to ensure the babies are "addicted to Nesquick".
Ah yes, but that's Africa where poverty is historic thanks to the lack of christmas cards or bracelet factories! I hear you say. No-one would have expected the famine corp to do the same in italy would they?

* Rest
* Play

"The nationwide operation centered on two Nestle baby milk products -- both carrying a September 2006 expiry date.
Earlier this month Italian police seized around 2 million liters of Nestle baby milk, which, they said, showed signs of contamination.
A Nestle spokesman was not immediately available for comment on Tuesday, but the company earlier this week issued a statement in Italy about the previous police move, saying it had agreed to remove all products which might have been affected.
The products the company named in that statement were different from the ones the Italian police confiscated on Tuesday, and had different expiry dates.
An Italian police official said: "After 2 million liters of milk were seized on November 9, we are now seizing 30 million liters of product across all of Italy, not just from depots and supermarkets, but also from lorries."
The official said tests showed some milk contained traces of IsopropilThioXantone (ITX), a product used in package labeling.
Nestle shares were down 0.7 percent around midday in a slightly higher overall Swiss market."
