From the same company that said water isn’t a basic human right comes an open admission that they are LITERALLY SLAVE TRADERS

Boycott Nestle

It is impossible to boycott Nestlé. They have such a tangled network of wholey owned subsidiaries that they make something like half the processed food sold in American grocery stores under varions other brand names.

Practically the only way to boycott Nestlé is to be a subsistence farmer or not buy any food that isn’t locally produced.

I usually try to avoid Nestle, mainly only when products blatantly say “Nestle” on them because as you said they own a ton of brands you wouldn’t even know they own.

Just to give you an idea of how much Nestle owns, and this was in 2012 I highly doubt they haven’t grown in the past 6 years. Source of image: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/27/consumer-brands-owned-ten-companies-graphic_n_1458812.html (snipped the image from this)

This is a fantastic example of why companies don’t actually care about your individual consumption or your product boycotts, too. Even seemingly smaller alternative brands are likely to be owned by bigger companies, usually the same one you’re boycotting. Sometimes even supporting local companies and brands doesn’t escape it – Starbucks owns not just a large amount of coffee chains in the US, but also a great many seemingly-independently-owned coffee shops too to catch anyone who tries to avoid big brands. You can’t rely on your individual consumption to make an impact.
