As promised, here is the updated Nestlé product list (current as of Oct. 7, 2009). The information below came from Nestlé USA product list, Corporate Watch, Gerber and Nestlé Brands.

Unfortunately, because Nestlé owns such a large number of products and I am only one person, I am finding it impossible to make this list complete. If you run across something that you know Nestlé makes that is not on this list, please leave me a comment so I can add it. Also, when in doubt, read the label, look for the Nestlé name in the fine print. Thanks!
Don’t know what the Nestle boycott is all about? Educate yourself. Check out my post, Annie’s (PhDinParenting’s) post and Best for Babies’ Anthology of Activist Blogs & Twitter Names. Remember, knowledge is power.

Joint Ventures (in which Nestle is partnered with another company):
Nestlé SA has several joint ventures. These are some of the larger ones:
Beverage Partners Worldwide, formed in 2001, is a joint venture between the Coca-Cola Company and Nestlé S.A. It concentrates on tapping markets in the beverage sectors, particularly ready-to-drink coffee and teas, such as Nestea.
Cereal Partners Worldwide is a joint venture between Nestlé and General Mills. From what I understand, in the USA, the cereals are made by General Mills. In the UK, they are made by Nestle.
Laboratories Innéov is a joint venture between Nestlé and L’Oréal, formed in 2002. Cosmetics included in are:
L’Oreal
Maybelline
Garnier
Lancome
Dairy Partners Americas is a 50/50 partnership between New Zealand dairy multinational, Fonterra and Nestlé and was established in January 2003. The alliance now operates joint ventures in Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Ecuador and Colombia.
Other Nestle Boycotts:
If committing to a total Nestle boycott is too overwhelming, you might want to consider joining a week-long Nestle boycott. Baby Milk Action is hosting one for the week of Oct. 26 to Nov. 1, 2009.
Also, Danielle Friedland of Celebrity Baby Blog fame is hosting a #BooNestle Halloween candy boycott.
Whether you decide to join the boycott completely, the week-long boycott, the Halloween candy boycott or just a partial list boycott, I’d love it if you’d leave a comment and let me know. Thank you.

Bettina says:
You did an awesome job with this. It does 2 powerful things. 1) Lets consumers know which products to weed out of our cupboards and avoid at the store (and I hope you’ll make a print out version in pdf form that people can attach to their fridge or take along for shopping). 2) Gives us all a sense of just how huge and powerful Nestle and other multinational corporations are and how much they control our habits, our decision-making processes, and our health. Just consider the implications of the partnership you mention above between Nestle & Fonterra: Fonterra owns a 43% stake in Sanlu Group, the culprit behind the huge melamine-tainted formula scandal in China.
Bravo!!

Our family has been boycotting Nestle for the last 15 years or so. This is a great list – I needed a refresher of all the different brands that they use! Thanks for taking the time and effort to put it all together.

Excellent post! This is a great way to spread the word about the Nestle Boycott. If you go here: http://www.infactcanada.ca/nestle_boycott_product.htm#US You’ll find a bunch more products listed (That’s just for the US). At the top of the page you can find the links for Canada, UK, and Australia Nestle products to avoid.

We don’t use any of these products, I try not to buy too much processed foods as it is…but this is really useful for when I explain to people why Nestle (and many other such companies) are evil.

Sonja says:
Man, those guys are everywhere!!! I hate these huge, multi-brand, international companies. They give me the heebie-jeebies. This was actually part of the reason why I decided to cloth-diaper – the relative off-the-grid-ness of it appealed to me. :)

DAMNIT, L’OREAL! But, that’s okay, that’s my excuse to indulge in the luscious luxury that is Chanel.
Thank you, Crunchy DG, for your dedication to this all important endeavor. Despite what they say, boycotts work. It’s like our own personal embargoes to hostile nations.
Peace and justice,

Is there a connection between Nestle and Hanah Anderson clothing? I had heard that Gerber bought them earlier this year and Gerber is now a Nestle subsidiary.
October 8th, 2009 at 10:23 am
Catherine @ Evolving Mommy says:
This is quite the list. Since we try to stay away from processed foods as much as possible we don’t have any of the foods you listed. I did not realize that Gerber is a part of Nestle. The funny thing is that when my daughter was first born I just had this gut feeling that I couldn’t trust anything Gerber. A mothers instincts are impressive. Thanks for sharing this information with us.

A Mama's Blog- Heather says:
Glad to see that I don’t have any of these products except one really old bag of chocolate chips I was going to throw away anyway. With Nestle being this large, it is amazing the extent that they can violate business ethics worldwide. It’s really sad they don’t use their “power” for more good.
October 8th, 2009 at 10:40 am
Heather says:
This is going to be difficult simply because it will be Halloween week and since we’re vegan,finding vegan candy is difficult (nerds, laffy taffy, pixy stix) oh well… I can modify my list and make my own candy. I’ll definitely attempt to memorize the list and boycott these items from now on. Of course, being vegan helps since we already don’t use most of them.

Thanks for such a comprehensive list! I’ve just joined the boycott, but I’m happy to report that other than the Tollhouse Morsels, I don’t regularly use any of these products. I’m sure it will be much more daunting once the baby is born, since I didn’t realize that Gerber is part of Nestle.
I’m also currently boycotting Pepsi as a personal decision because I don’t like their policies on BPA in their bottles.

Love and Laughter,Amy says:
I’m sorry to admit to your blog that I am not actively boycotting nestle at this time… only because I haven’t taken the time to educate myself about their company. I’m sure there are many compelling reasons why a boycott is in order. I do want to share with you that I do not own nor buy any of their products. I was quite surprised when looking at a list of this length that that would be true but it is. Apparently, I’ve accidentally stumbled upon the best reason to boycott nestle; their products are crap and seriously overpriced for the crap that they are.

Although we have been avoiding them for years, I had no idea the list had grown so much. I saw 3 products we occasionally use on the list but they are easy to stop using as well.
I would be interested to hear the chatter on their end…do they notice boycotts? I’d love to see some change happen…for a change.

I’ve been boycotting Nestle for roughly 3 years. Was unaware of the Gerber connection, though, since my kiddos are older now it will be no trouble at all to avoid. Was also unaware that they had a partnership with Coke. I only drink Coke when I’m on long drives to attend events for Mom’s Breastaurant. Guess I’ll be looking for other caffeinated alternatives for those drives. Thanks for the updated list!

Well, I have been boycotting Nestle pretty much forever. My mom started boycotting it in the early 70′s and we just never quit. We made a game of finding more sneaky products with Nestle in tiny print someplace-now I play this game with my husband. You have a great list (I didn’t know about Skinny Cow and Gerber). You might want to check Contadina (they make canned tomatoes, sauce, etc). They were Nestle when I checked several years ago but it has been a while. I admit I do slip at times (like when there is nothing else available or someone else has already bought something).

We have been boycotting Nestle for the past 20 years. I am sad to see that the need still continues.
When living in Costa Rica I found that Nestle made Cheerios and that Nestle was the only brand of canned milk available. It was very difficult to boycott Nestle there and difficult for people there to see a need for the boycott.
Thank you for the updated list.

Thank you for a new list, has just weeded out a few more!
I have only been Nestle free for a couple ofmonths now, but there is somethingabout doing it that makes you feel good and feel like you are doing something worthwhile. I dont think it will ever Stop Nestle from doing what they do, as there are too many people who dont give a monkey, but maybe in time.
My 2 oldest children understand that we dont buy Nestle and more. They got a simple explanation that they are mean to the poor mummies and the rainforests and are greedy. At 6 and 4 that is enough of an explanation. When we are in the supermarket, they spot Nestle and say “oh look thats Nestle, we can’t buy that” They are sometimes more vigient than me. They tell our friends and family if they buy something Nestle that we dont buy it.
Continue with the good work!

i will gladly give up haagen-dazs, although it’s been so long since i’ve had it…other than that, i’m happy to say i don’t buy anything on that list. on the other hand, it doesn’t make for a very effective boycott. huh. thanks for the list. :)
