Deliver Nutrition Information and Advice On All Our Labels


We aim to help consumers improve their understanding of appropriate eating habits with clear information about ingredients and portion size on our products.

Our progress

By the end of 2016, 99% of our foods and beverages in Central and West Africa displayed the Nestlé Nutritional Compass, which helps consumers make informed choices. It includes a breakdown of the nutritional composition of the product, tips for healthy, balanced diets and contact details for more information. 

We also aim to make information more accessible through Quick Response (QR) codes for our children’s product portfolio including Nido and Milo, and also on adult products like Nescafé By scanning the QR code on certain product packaging, they can go ‘beyond the label’ to access information on the nutritional, environmental and societal aspects of the product. 

Guideline Daily Amount (GDA) based labels also help inform consumers about calories, sugars, fat and other nutrients in a food or beverage serving, with reference to daily guidelines. At the end of 2016, 90% of our food and beverages portfolio had GDA labelling on the front of the pack, up 37% in comparison to 2015. 

We will continue improving on this in 2017, with an aim to achieve 100% by the end of the year.
