Corporations will not ever self-regulate. If the "global south" can't even govern their food suppliers at the inadequate and shitty level the US does, then what else can be said? This is a problem that is directly within those governments ability to solve, but they still won't even do that.

Unsolvable problems with the Nestle Corporation - They Exist and their executives weren't guillotined in the 50's.

Solvable problem with the Nestle Corporation - They are legally allowed to sell products within the sovereign countries of the global south while complying with all local laws and regulations.

If only something could be done....

If a corporation willingly abuses every loophole in laws or lack of laws even though it is able to know what would be more beneficial for their customers or humanity or at least to know what the law originally intended, then it's just plain evil shit. It's still people who work at companies and make immoral decisions. They have the power to decide.

Yes, and since modern capitalist companies are transnational, what should be done? If you are blaming nestle you are correct, but Nestle's actions within South Africa are outside the scope of America's laws.
