 New
Delhi: Nestle India chairman and managing director
Carlo Donati says the company has begun the exercise of
reinforcing the guidelines for market hygiene for its
chocolate brands. The exercise is aimed at ensuring that
storage of its chocolate brands at retail outlets meet
with adequate hygiene standards.
About
whether the recent worms controversy involving Cadbury
India''s chocolate brands had impacted Nestle''s sales as
well, Donati says: "Any controversy that shakes the
consumer''s confidence is not good for the category."
The
company has projected a double-digit growth in the forthcoming
months. Donati attributes expectations of increased demand
to healthy monsoons this year. "Good monsoons have
improved general economic outlook, but the impact on the
overall fast-moving consumer goods sector remains limited."
