Lower Quality Products In India

According to a recent report, there is evidence that Nestle, PepsiCo, and Unilever, and other food multinationals are providing their second-best goods to third world countries such as India.

In its global index launched by Access to Nutrition Initiative (ATNI), an international non-governmental organization, products manufactured or distributed by such firms have apparently been reported to be less healthy according to a recently devised health ranking system of nutrition popular in Australia and New Zealand.

In the rating system, if a food product gets a score of more than 3.5, they are considered to be healthy. Looking at the overall results, consumers’ average rating of the products was 2.3 among high-incoming countries and only 1.8 in the case of lower-income states.

The group has carried out evaluations on food products sold in over thirty countries. The index has differentiated the assessment based on low income and high and middle income for the first time.

Mark Wijne the research director at ATNI, urged the governments to be more cautious of food safety standards. “It’s a very clear picture that what these companies are selling in the poorest countries in the world, where they are more and more active, are not healthy products,” he said.
