Nestle, founded in Sweden in 1866, when two Swiss businesses joined forces. These companies, headed by Henri Nestle and Charles and George Page, began an aggressive campaign to expand their business into Europe, then the America’s, and beyond.
The company grew extensively after both WWI and WWII. Nestlé’s products include baby food, medical food, bottled water, breakfast cereals, coffee and tea, confectionery, dairy products, ice cream, frozen food, pet foods, and snacks. 
Nestle is now the biggest food and beverage company in the world when measuring revenue. The company had revenue in 2017 of $91.6 billion. The company has expanded tremendously over their 152-year history, far beyond their condensed milk and infant formula beginnings.
In 1984, the company acquired Carnation, one of the largest dairy manufacturers in the US at the time. Later that same decade, the company acquired Friskies, a cat food manufacturer, as well as Coffee-Mate and Rowntree Mackintosh, candy makers whose brands include Kit-Kats and Smarties. 
The company has 447 factories in 194 countries and employs almost a half a million persons. Nestle has 64 brands and has joint ventures with at least 8 other global companies, including General Mills and Coca-Cola.
Nestle Health Science has made numerous acquisitions in the past decade, including Vitaflo, CM&D Pharma, Prometheus Laboratories, and Vital Foods. 
In May of 2015, Food Safety Regulators from the Uttar Pradesh in India found that samples of Nestlé’s leading noodle brand, MAGGI, had up to 17 times beyond permissible safe limits of lead in addition to heavy quantities of monosodium glutamate. India’s government made public that it was seeking damages of nearly $100 million from Nestlé India for “unfair trade practices” following the June ban on Maggi noodles.The suit was finally settled for 6,400 million rupees in August of 2015. Nestlé destroyed 400 million packets of Maggi products and sales resumed in November of 2015.
In 2017, the company moved their USA headquarters from Glendale, California, to Rosslyn, Virginia.

Cutting off someone’s freedom of speech (Tucker Carlson) because a bunch of sick Democrats can’t stand that Trump whipped the butt of their darling Hillary is unAmerican. I will stop buying Nestle products until this position is reversed
HAVE SENT SEVERAL COMMENTS TO YOUR
SITE W/O A REPLY & LEFT MSGS…W/O A
RESPONSE?!
I and my family WILL NO LONGER purchase any Nestle products or services, including from acquired companies and joint venture companies (Carnation, Friskies, Coffee-Mate, etc.), as a result of Nestle’s decision to boycott the Laura Ingraham Fox News host. Nestle’s executive made the decision to boycott advertisers, and now customers will make the decision to boycott Nestle products; every action has a reaction. I am sure that founders, Henri Nestle and Charles and George Page would be quite displeased with current executives Grimwood, Presley and Petrie for chosing political issues over product. Corporations should cease trying to silence/censor our freedom of speech by “agenda-driven intimidation efforts”.
I will no Longer buy any Nestle products or services as long as Nestle advertises on right-wing host Laura Ingraham’s television after she attacked a victim of the February Parkland, Florida school shooting on Twitter. I can’t believe a company like Nestle would condone the inappropriate comments made by this television personality. In my view, these statements focused on a high school student, cross the line of decency. As long as Nestle is affiliated with this organization/affiliation I am going to encourage my friends, family to boycott all Nestle products. We did the same with Chick-Fil-A.
Hey Nestle! first, how about you fix your phone service so when it ask if you want to speak to an operator after clicking zero, you actually get to talk to a person instead of it telling you it cannot complete the call. HUH?? This is within your company people, how can you not complete a call within your own company?? Second, what are the people in production doing when these bags of candy, Butterfinger fun sizes to be exact, come rolling down the line to be pack? Stomping on them before boxing them? Every dang bag I have bought recently have been nothing but crumbling messes wrapped up. If I end up getting another bag like this, I will not only return it to the store, but I will stop buying the product all together.
