A company spokesman said Nestlé has had an advisory panel of scientists dealing with nutritional issues for more than 20 years, and has also produced low-fat ranges such as Lean Cuisine, reported Dow Jones News.

The Nestlé spokesman played down the danger, saying that recent court rulings do not support that view.
