The Shady History of Nestle in Latin America Part Two

In the 1970s, the Nestle infant formula controversy came to light. In this episode, Cristina tells Carmen about the infant formula "scandal" (as in babies died), due to shady marketing practices. A lot of these infant deaths happened in Latin America and the rest of the global south. But first, the history of Nestle, starting with Henri Nestle and a bit about the history of formula. But these practices did not really come to an end. If you have topic suggestions, feel free to email Historiasunknownpodcast@gmail.com or use the contact us form on the website https://www.historiasunknown.com/contact/Want ad free episodes?
