Background
Purina is Nestlé's pet-care brand family, and its Israeli position is that of a brand run by Nestlé's own Israeli company rather than by an outside importer: Purina appears in the brand grid of Osem-Nestlé, the Israeli food group Nestlé has owned outright since February 2016 (Nestlé first invested and took exclusive Israeli distribution rights in 1995), and Nestlé Purina maintains a Hebrew Israeli brand site. No donation, sponsorship, investment or statement of support for Israel, its government or its military has been documented for the Purina brand itself, and no evidence was found that Purina products are made in Israel. What is documented at subsidiary level, and recorded on the Nestlé page, is that Osem-Nestlé — not the Swiss parent — sent food and water shipments to IDF soldiers and rescue forces in the first days of the October 2023 war, delivered tens of thousands of dry-goods products to the Association for the Wellbeing of Israel's Soldiers, and sent baby food and other products to residents of Sderot and southern families. Those donations are attributed to the Israeli subsidiary that markets Purina locally, not to the Purina brand or to Nestlé S.A., which made no statement of support and instead temporarily closed an Israeli plant in October 2023 as a safety precaution. Nestlé and Purina do not appear on the BDS movement's official targeted-boycott list.
