I've found that the packaging virtually always says "Nestle" on it
somewhere, even when the main brand of the product is something else.
Last Thanksgiving I kicked myself for buying a jar of Crosse &
Blackwell mincemeat without checking the label first. Sure enough --
it had the Nestle logo on the back.
This is true of every brand I know of owned by Nestle in the US.
Another inadvertent resource for boycotters is the Sunday newspaper
coupon inserts. My newspaper frequently includes a coupon insert
that is produced by Nestle featuring all of their various brands and
products. The front has a big Nestle phrase splashed across it. I
look through it just for a pictorial refresher on what not to buy.
Of course it takes a little time to check labels when you first start
boycotting, but you soon become familiar with what's Nestle and
what's not. Then as an ongoing thing it's just a matter of checking
out any products that are new to you.
Hoping the particulars of boycotting Nestle aren't too far OT,
