It is not always easy for consumers in any country to tell whether a product contains added sugar, and how much is present, based on nutritional information printed on packaging alone.

That seems like the problem that actually needs solving.

Victim blaming when Nestle could simply do... What's better for the human body?

Relying on for profit corporations to do what is best for the human body is a fool’s errand.

Strong consumer labelling laws and regulation is the primary way to combat it. Encouraging consumers to actually read the packaging is also required.
