While the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India has started an investigation on Nestlé India over the alleged use of sugar in baby food products Nestlé has refuted the claims 

<h2>While the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India has started an investigation on Nestl&eacute; India over the alleged use of sugar in baby food products Nestl&eacute; has refuted the claims&nbsp;</h2>

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has started an investigation on Nestl&eacute; India over the alleged use of sugar in baby food products in low-income countries, including India, reported The Economic Times. The allegation is made by a Swiss investigative agency Public Eye, which specialises in corporate wrongdoing.
<h3>Investigation on Nestl&eacute;</h3>
As per Mint, the FSSAI will analyze the findings of Public Eye's report, and present it before a scientific panel for further assessment. Public Eye, earlier this week along with International Baby Food Action Network (IBFAN) published the results of its investigation into various brands of infant milk and cereals sold by Nestl&eacute; across developing nations.
As per the findings, Nestl&eacute; has allegedly added sugar and honey in its two primary brands&mdash;Cerelac and Nodi which are sold in parts of Africa, Latin America and Asia. However the excess sugar is not found in the products sold in its main markets in Europe or US.
&ldquo;Almost all Cerelac infant cereals examined contain added sugar&ndash;nearly 4 gm per serving on average, equal to roughly a sugar cube&ndash; although they are targeted at babies from six months of age. The highest amount&mdash;7.3 gm per serving&mdash;was detected in a product sold in the Philippines", said Public Eye report.
<h3>Nestl&eacute;'s Response</h3>
In response to the Public Eye report, Nestl&eacute; in its statement has refuted the claims and assured that Products manufactured in India are in "full and strict compliance" with global food standards, and local specifications pertaining to the requirements of all nutrients, including added sugars.
&ldquo;We would like to assure that our infant cereal products are manufactured to ensure the appropriate delivery of nutritional requirements, such as protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, iron, etc., for early childhood. We never compromise and will never compromise on the nutritional quality of our products," a company spokesperson said in a statement.
&ldquo;We constantly leverage our extensive global research and development network to enhance the nutritional profile of our products. Compliance is an essential characteristic of Nestl&eacute; India, and we will never compromise on that."
The Swiss food company further added that in India the products are manufactured in full and strict compliance with CODEX standards (a commission established by WHO and FAO).
<h3>Nestl&eacute; Food Products</h3>
As per Nestl&eacute; India, the company has reduced added sugars by up to 30%, across its infant cereal range, depending on the variant in the past five years.&nbsp;
&nbsp;&ldquo;We regularly review our portfolio and continue to innovate and reformulate our products to further reduce the level of added sugars, without compromising on nutrition, quality, safety, and taste", the firm said
However, in Europe, and other developed markets, the company does not add any sugar to its infant nutrition products.

Nestle adds more sugar to its baby products sold in Asian nations including India, new study reveals

<h2>Sugar is harmful for babies as much as it is for adults. Less sugar reduces the risk of childhood obesity and related health problems associated with excessive sugar consumption from an early age.</h2>

A new study has reported that Nestle adds sugar to its baby products like Cerelac in Asian countries including India. Swiss investigative organisation, Public eye and International Baby Food Action Network (IBFAN) tested Nestle&rsquo;s baby-food products sold in Asia, Africa and Latin America in a Belgian laboratory and found that added sugar in the form of sucrose or honey was found in of Nido, a follow-up milk formula brand used for infants aged one and above, and Cerelac, meant for children aged between six months and two years.
The report also stated that Cerelac sold in UK, Germany and France are devoid of any added sugar.
<h3>What World Health Organization (WHO) recommends</h3>
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting the consumption of added sugars for all age groups, including babies and young children. In 2019, WHO issued guidelines specifically targeting added sugar in baby food products.&nbsp;&nbsp;
WHO advises against the addition of any sugars, including fruit juices and concentrated fruit juice, to complementary foods (foods given to infants in addition to breast milk or formula) for children under 2 years of age.
Instead of sweetened foods or beverages, WHO encourages the consumption of nutrient-rich foods to promote healthy growth and development in infants and young children.
WHO also emphasizes the importance of educating caregivers about the risks associated with excessive sugar intake in infants and young children and providing guidance on appropriate feeding practices.
<h3>What did FSSAI say?</h3>
&nbsp;The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has launched an inquiry into the claims reported in the study conducted by Public Eye, a Swiss investigative organisation, and International Baby Food Action Network (IBFAN), according to sources sited by ET Now. FSSAI said if Nestle is found violating regulations, it will take strigent action against the company.

Analysts predict that the famous Ching's brand will further strengthen Nestle India's position as the market leader, though some are concerned about valuation.

Report: Nestle is considering a $1 billion transaction with Capital Foods, owner of 'Ching's Secret'

Analysts predict that the famous Ching's brand will further strengthen Nestle India's position as the market leader, though some are concerned about valuation.

The largest food company in the world, Nestle SA, is one of the final bidders eying to buy Capital Foods Pvt., the proprietor of 'Ching's Secret.'
Ching's Secret is also endorsed by Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh.
According to Bloomberg, the Swiss company has been looking into the specifics of a possible deal for Mumbai-based Capital Foods, with any such deal likely to give the company a market value of more than $1 billion.
In addition to manufacturing "Ching's Secret" brand of fusion chutneys and spicy noodles., Capital Foods also sells the Smith &amp; Jones masala blends and culinary pastes
Nestle India Ltd. has a market valuation of about $22.3 billion after its shares increased 10% over the previous 12 months and Following news that parent company Nestle SA is one of the top contenders for Capital Foods Pvt Ltd, shares of Nestle India increased by almost 3% on March 31.
But, as per Moneycontrol the deal would be expensive at a 10x EV/Sales ratio because Capital Foods is expected to generate only Rs 800 crore in revenue for FY23, in compariosn to the $1 billion bid placed by Nestle
Nevertheless, Nestle India's inclusion of the Ching's name will strengthen its position as the market leader.
