Provide Nutritionally Sound Products Designed for Children

Our objective is to improve our food offerings for children by analysing the nutritional value of our products.

We assess all our foods and beverages for children against the Nestlé Nutritional Foundation (NF) criteria. This is based on nutrition science and globally accepted public health dietary recommendations. A food or beverage must meet all the criteria to achieve the NF ‘yes’ status, so that it is considered by our company as suitable as part of a balanced diet. 

Our progress

We continue to invest in the innovation and renovation of our large portfolio of products in Central and West Africa to boost nutritional value, while improving taste. 

In 2016, 100% of our products in Central and West Africa were assessed and met all of the NF criteria in providing nutritionally sound products for children, including the criteria for salt, sugars and saturated fats. 

We will continue to ensure that 100% of our children’s products meet all Nestlé NF criteria for children in the future.
