No free milk for babies

No free milk for babies

We would like to confirm that PT Nestle Indonesia will not
provide any free milk for babies, as indicated in an article
published by The Jakarta Post on April 11, 2001 titled Indonesia
has 6.8 million malnourished babies on page 2.

For your information. PT Nestle Indonesia, as a milk product
manufacturer, complies strictly to the World Health
Organization's (WHO) International Code of marketing of breast-
milk substitutes that, amongst others, prohibit the distribution
of free milk to babies.

In the article, a statement made by PT Nestle Indonesia's
director of sales and marketing, Mr. D. Nandkishore, during a
media conference on April 10, 2001 at the launching of the Ini
Dulu, Baru Itu drink milk campaign was over-quoted as follows:
"the campaign would reach four million children by providing free
milk for elementary school students, and for babies through the
Integrated Community Health Posts (Posyandu).

The Ini Dulu, Baru Itu drink milk campaign is aimed to
encourage Indonesian children to drink more milk, and to provide
parents with better understanding on the benefits of milk. The
free milk will be distributed to school-age children only.
