Nestlé Nesquik discontinued in SA due to low demand 

SA – Nestlé will be bidding farewell to Nestlé Nesquik in South Africa, effective from 21 August 2023. Nestlé Nesquik Strawberry 500g, Nestlé Nesquik Strawberry 250g, Nestlé Nesquik Chocolate 500g, and Nestlé Nesquik Chocolate 250g will no longer be produced in South Africa and thus discontinued. While Nestlé understands that this may disappoint some consumers, this change follows a drop in sales and lower demand for Nestlé Nesquik. Nestlé Milo®, Nestlé Hot Chocolate, and Nestlé Cocoa are here to stay, ensuring that consumers can continue to enjoy the exceptional quality and taste they have come to expect from Nestlé. These brands have shown remarkable performance and consumer loyalty, making them the focus of Nestlé’s efforts to build a healthier and sustainable business for the future. 

“We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our consumers for their unwavering support throughout the years,” said Takudzwa Mupfurutsa, business executive officer: Dairy, Nestlé East and Southern Africa.
