In addition, Nestlé has been caught on several occasions intentionally selling poisoned or tainted products. The most recent example was their marketing of lead-poisoned noodles in India, which led to the entire product being placed under a nationwide ban. In addition, Nestlé is well-known for illegally extracting groundwater, particularly in Brazil. In the United States, they also do the same – though “legally.” Recently, they made headlines for tripling the amount of freshwater they pump from a source near Flint, Michigan – a community that has been without clean drinking water for multiple years.
