Damehood for Fiona Kendrick

"Fiona Kendrick, Chair and CEO of Nestlé (UK and Ireland), has been awarded a damehood in the New Year Honours for ‘services to obesity’, in the words of Private Eye magazine, which highlights its marketing of junk foods and lobbying against policies to reduce obesity..."

"Nestlé is the target of a boycott because its puts its own profits before health as it aggressively markets baby milk around the world. Babies fed on formula are more likely to become sick than breastfed babies and, in conditions of poverty, more likely to die."

"Nestlé is facing another Public Relations disaster as Tesco is currently withdrawing a point-of-sale promotion for its SMA infant formula from stores across the UK. The promotion breaks the Infant Formula and Follow-on Formula Regulations (2007) and members of the public immediately began contacting Baby Milk Action with photos of the prominent shelf-talkers. Tesco told Baby Milk Action in a statement on 11 January 2015:"

‘We completely understand your concerns. This came to our attention on Thursday afternoon and we took immediate steps to remove the material from stores. This removal process will be completed as soon as possible.’

"Tesco has pointedly failed to respond to questions about who was responsible for the promotion and the involvement of Nestlé."
