Tesco will no longer be stocking Nido whole milk powder!

I am really sorry you been having difficulty locating the Nestle Nido Instant Full Cream Milk Powder 900G, at our store.

I have spoken to my Support Team about this matter and sadly, this item has now been discontinued from all of our stores. You will be able to go to your local store, to our Customer Service Desk and you can request for this item to be stocked at your local store. This will then be taken into consideration for the future.
Hope this helps and if there's anything else you need, please feel free to contact us.
Kind regards,

Shannen Gallego

I'll be dammed if I'm going back onto the semi-skimmed stuff, there are limits.

I have a friend who's wife works at nestle. Will ask and see if they are stopping making it or if she is able to get it in bulk.

Nestle may be marketing the stuff but who actually runs the factory? Is it 100% milk?

The CEO of Nestle has proclaimed that humans have NO RIGHT to clean water.
I wouldn't throw him a cork if he was sinking in a sewer.

The Chinese poisoning of baby formula and milk powder with melamine goes back to 2008.
It will take a long time to convince me that _any_ powdered milk is safe.

If they have a factory in China it may not be 100% milk derived.

That's a bit scaremongering Janne. The baby milk scandal was years ago, and as far as I can work out, the Nido full cream milk powder (there's a Nido range) is whole milk, soya, and some vitamins.

It looks to be manufactured in Israel by Osem, a food company set up in 1942, majority owned by Nestlé. They specialise in dry goods like instant pasta, noodles, soups etc.

I only use it rarely, it's not great in tea or coffee, but works very well mixed into muesli so only water is needed. Of all the milk subs, it's probably the best though.

Yes, the milk replacement scandal was years ago. The same with toxic paints on childrens toys and canned vegetables that contained high levels of lead and toxins from human faeces.

I still do not buy Chinese made cans. You do not change the stripes on a zebra, or what the saying says.

I prefer Nestle Sweetened Condensed Milk. The best.

No, I disagree. This was not even 10 years ago and thousands of children were poisoned.
The Chinese didn't want anyone to know that their baby formula and powdered milk was laced with melamine.
When I can see the bona fides in public, I'll settle down and not a freakin' minute sooner.

Here in North America, Nestle' desperately wants water to be considered as a commodity under the NAFTA Agreement trade rules.
That means buy and sell and to hell with humanitarian concerns.

Nice65, you have done well to ease my concerns with the food stuffs.
Nevertheless, watch the real sources like a hawk. What you see is probably not what you get.

What is the correct turn of phrase? Caveat emptor?

The lead and faeces scandal was when I still lived in Sweden, so more than 20 years ago. Chinese cans were banned in Sweden for years.
The reason was the primitive tinning contained lead, and the fields were fertilized with raw human sewage. .

The toxic paint has had a couple of rounds unless I am mistaken. The latest one only a couple of years ago?

When it comes to food I am quite concious what I buy. The guy reading the labels before he buys - that is me!

The labels on cans don't mean horse-puckey.
You learn who markets the stuff, NOT who actually makes it.
As Janne points out, even the cans are known problems.

Me? All I have learned is to make most of my own food from scratch ingredients.
I've looked into the sources of those ingredients with some confidence
as to who, what, where and when they come to my kitchen.

Yeah, that's the plan. If they refuse to reveal where the ingredients come from, they are on my DEAD-list.
The CEO of Nestle' is a . . . . oh hell, you'll figure it out if and when you care about the water you drink.

Lawry's is a condiment company in North America.
They flat out refuse to explain why their salt is laced with sugar.
This is a FACT which does NOT appear on the label.
