Nestle keeps West Africa plants open, ready to act if Ebola spreads


LAGOS DE MORENO, Mexico: Nestle has no plans to close any of its eight factories or curb output in cocoa and coffee-rich West and Central Africa because of Ebola, but is ready to adapt if it spreads, the Chief Executive of the world's largest food company said on Wednesday.

Nestle's factories in the region including both Ghana and Ivory Coast produce chocolate beverages, instant coffee, powdered milk, cereals and bottled water, but the company has yet to suffer any supply or transport disruptions due to Ebola in nearby Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
