Didn't this happen once before with nestle baby formula in Africa years/decades ago?

Seems to be happening more frequently than one would expect. A month ago a batch of nestle baby formula was recalled in Cyprus for the same reason https://en.politis.com.cy/social-lens/979647/nestle-expands-...

IIRC that was deceptive marketing. It was something like selling non-formula as formula, or selling formula as better for babies than breastmilk.

More like giving formula for free to new mothers to begin with, and when they wouldn't produce their own (as there was no "demand") they would later need to buy more formula.
