Harvard Food Services officials said this week Food Services has probably purchased this year products other than iced tea or hot chocolate manufactured by Nestle Company or Nestle subsidiaries.
Bureaucracy
The Food Services currently has a policy of purchasing if the price is right--products manufactured by Stouffer Foods and Libby, McNeill and Libby, both subsidiaries of Nestle, Benjamin H. Walcott, assistant director of Food Services, said this week.
No Committment
Walcott said the purchases are "irrelevant right now" because the University had not yet agreed to student demands for a boycott.
Frank J. Weissbecker, director of Food Services, said the Food Services sometimes purchases desserts from Stouffer Foods, but these purchases are "very minimal because the things are quite expensive."
"Right now we are not purchasing any of Libby's products," Walcott said.
"We haven't kept anything under cover," Walcott added. "We've told the principal characters involved in the boycott about these procedures."
Daniel Cohn '79, the CHUL member who introduced a resolution passed by CHUL to recommend that the University boycott Nestle, said yesterday, "To my knowledge, no one involved in the boycott was told specifically that the Food Services buys from Stouffer's or Libby's."
