Although the title is a bit misleading as Nestlé is Swiss and Unilever is British I still love to see this every couple of years as a reminder.
Am I the only one interested in this seemingly being from 2012 according to the copyright notice in the bottom right. That’s more than 12 years ago now :(
This is very outdated. It’s a decent quick guide, and most of it is still true, but I recommend looking up the current information. Between the parent company’s website and Wikipedia, it’s easy to find the full list.

Note that this does not necessarily show your local brands (unless you’re in the US, presumably). German pizza maker Wagner and German convenience food maker Maggi are owned by Nestle, but not represented here.
Nestlé and Unilever are not American. Nestlé is Swiss and Unilever is British/Dutch.
This does not mean that they are good brand and you can certainly find many reasons to boycott them but not because they are American
That’s about everything unhealthy in the supermarket.
Yeah, I’ve never been more motivated to eat more greens and unprocessed food.
Nobody will ever convince me that we wouldn’t all be better off without breaking up these trusts.
Unilever isn’t American.
Depends on what you mean by “being” American. It’s owned mostly by American institutions like Bank of America and Wells Fargo.
One of their biggest shareholders are BlackRock, puts a big black mark on the company.
IMO: Nestlé - Switzerland Unilever - UK
Happily 80% of those are not sold in my corner of Europe.
We have enough domestic brands that covers all this shit food with better quality local alternatives (Migros, Frey, Lindt…)
The most famous being a really human mega corporation with nothing to hide, aka Nestle.
Don’t forget Kraft, P&G, and Johnson&Johnson
The original image had most of these:
Yes, i have that image saved but Nestlé and Unilever aren’t American.
Both Nestle and Unilever’s biggest individual shareholders are BlackRock, so make of that as you will.
Toblerone is american? Wtf?
Toblerone is owned by US-based Kraft but only produced in the EU, similar to how Ben and Jerry’s ice cream is made in the US but is owned by the London-based Unilever. With international conglomerates, national lines are very blurred
Yeah, they bought a lot of European chocolate brands, like Milka, Côte d’Or, Toblerone, Cadbury, Green & Black’s, Freia and Marabou.
