(Bloomberg) -- Nestle SA Chief Executive Officer Paul Bulcke took the witness stand Wednesday in a harassment lawsuit brought by a former employee who alleges the world’s largest food-maker ignored her warnings about product safety.
Bulcke said he could not recall the specifics of a 2006 meeting that Yasmine Motarjemi, a former food safety director at Nestle, said was key to her complaints. The court hearing was limited to journalists and pre-approved members of the public at Nestle’s request.
“There are a lot of meetings and I try to attend all those that merit it,” Bulcke told the judge who was questioning him at the court in Lausanne, Switzerland, less than 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the foodmaker’s headquarters. “Food safety is something we take very seriously.”
