11. Add the meal delivery service Freshly to the list and a bunch of vitamin types

Freshly
Type of business: Meal delivery service

Freshly launched in 2012 as a meal delivery service, providing fresh, fully cooked meals to customers across the United States. The company offers a weekly subscription service, capitalizing on a growing trend of subscription delivery services across a variety of product areas.28 In 2020, the company delivered more than 1 million meals per week to about 20,000 U.S. ZIP codes.29

Nestlé acquired Freshly in 2020, maintaining it as a stand-alone company with complete control of its products and subscription pricing.30 Nestlé’s acquisition helped it to gain additional exposure to the growing market for healthy foods while also capitalizing on the recent rise of meal delivery services such as Blue Apron.

The Bountiful Company (core brands)

Acquisition date: April 30, 2021 (announced)31

Nestle’s goal is to fold these brands into Nestlé Health Science, to make it a global leader in nutritional supplements, vitamins, and minerals. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021.31

12. I'd boycott those products, except that I've already been boycotting all Nestle products for decades

Specifically, since the early '80s.

Unfortunately, not once in the past 40 years has Nestle given me any reason to stop my boycott.

13. I have only bought Poland Spring, S. Pelligrino, Kiehl's and L'Oreal mascara and eyeliner, but

since the pandemic, I haven't used much makeup and I can easily switch products - Done! Also, the others I only buy on occasion and can do without them too. Easy to switch.

Other than that, there is nothing else I use. Very disappointed in Kiehl's though. They were once a very respected NYC brand. Poland Spring too.

8. Par for the course

For a company the poisoned babies.
