Nestlé India announced the launch of a baby food product, almost six months after the company was in the news for the high sugar levels in their other popular product, Cerelac, without refined sugar this time around.

“We indeed have met our aspiration of launching ‘Cerelac’ brands in the market with no refined sugar’’, the chairman and managing director Suresh Narayanan said.

This started some three years ago, and it has delivered this year, the new variant of Cerelac in terms of no refined sugar variants, he added. The range of expanded cerelac in India will now comprise of 21 variants, where 14 variants will be of no refined sugar. Out of these 14 variants, dressed E-retailer talks about 7 variants that will be available by the end of November, and the rest will be launched in the following weeks.

Nothing attests this better than the statement made by the Chief Executive in April this year when the Swiss conglomerate was at the centre of a scandal during the publication of the Nestle company review words. This was after the public eye, a Swiss investigative body and the international baby food action network ibfan claimed that Nestle's cerelac millet-based baby cereal products sold in India contain added sugar. In contrast, as per the report, the company does not add any sugar to its infant nutrition product range in the report in Europe.
