Nestle claimed that the solid matter found in the Milo tetra pack was actually coagulated milk, while the findings of the University of the Philippines Natural Sciences Research Institute Microbiological Research and Services Laboratory revealed that it was a mass of fungal hyphae.

On the other hand, Nestle is currently conducting an investigation regarding the solid materials in the Chuckie drink.
