Nestle SIX:NESN has accepted that some parents will not return to buying the company's infant formula products following a widespread recall that began late last year, Nestle's head of nutrition, Serena Aboutboul, said on Tuesday.
Nestle recalled products across Europe, Asia and the Americas over possible contamination with cereulide, a toxin that can cause nausea and vomiting. Aboutboul noted that the company had lost market share and said it would be a while before sales return to pre-recall levels.
