Nestle Office Trashed in Thialand Corporate Lies About Genetic Engineering Feeding The World Aren't Being Believed By Those In The Most Hungry Countries, Either by CMC thecmc Posted: 6.7.02 Activists of the Greenpeace Southeast Asia raided a Nestle's office in Bangkok, Thailand today, dumping products containing genetically modified (GM) ingredients on the floor. Ten activists stormed the Nestle's office and dumped boxes of Nestle GM products including Cerelac, a baby food, and the Starfish brand of snacks. They tied themselves to a counter at the Consumer Information Center while a Greenpeace activist presented a protest letter to Nestle executive Nophadol Siwabutr, in which they criticized the Nestle company for preparing to supply GM food products to Thai consumers while the products sold in Europe were GM-free. Nestle is also a major player in the effort to privatize the world’s water supply. A similar protest also took place simultaneously in Manila, Hong Kong and Switzerland. The action was to kick off a campaign urging consumers to return products containing GMO (genetically modified organisms). Nestle executives in Thialand said that the company will label products to tell consumers they contained GM ingredients when GM labeling regulations are put into place in May next year.
