Nestlé restricts US travel over swine flu concerns

Nestlé has restricted staff travel to the US and Mexico amid growing concerns about the spread of swine flu. The food and drink manufacturer said in a statement that further travel restrictions would apply to other countries where the virus was shown to be passing from human to human. Its human pandemic taskforce, based at the company’s headquarters in Switzerland, has been put on alert and local taskforces have also been activated.
