In 2008, Nestlé has been named one of America’s Most Admired Food Companies for the 12th consecutive time.
Nestlé products and all its subsidiary companies like Gerber, Carnation, Nescafe etc… are all top selling brands.

Since 2004, their breakfast cereal products have been claimed as having false claims of “heart healthy” and “lower cholesterol.” They have been forced to reduce the amount of sugar in their products as American parents claim they were contributing to diabetics.
