Nestle Expands NHW Footprint in US

Nestle reports significant progress in the areas of Nutrition, Health and Wellness (NHW) in the United States during 2011. Over the past year, Nestle has introduced and expanded new NHW initiatives, announced several partnerships with leading industry organizations, and launched multiple campaigns to increase nutrition awareness and help combat epidemic rates of obesity.

 

“As a core component of Nestle’s Good Food, Good Life business philosophy, we are continually working to improve both the quality and quantity of nutritious and delicious products that can be enjoyed by every member of the family and for every way of life,” says Chris Johnson, Nestle’s Zone director for the United States, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean.

 

“With obesity rates on the rise, especially among younger Americans, Nestl recognizes that maintaining a healthy lifestyle requires making smart choices. At Nestl, we strive to offer healthier food and beverage alternatives, while also providing solutions for portion control. We have introduced specific product improvements focused on adding healthier ingredients like whole grains, while also reducing sodium, fat and sugar in many of our products,” adds Johnson.
