Nestlé nutrition: right and tasty
The Nestlé Nutritional Profiling System was developed to assess the nutritional value of foods and beverages. Nestlé is constantly optimizing the nutritional composition of its products.
As we strive to continually improve the nutritional value of Nestlé products, we have been reducing the sugar content over the years. Between 2000 and 2014, we reduced the total sugar content of our products by 34%. This figure is based on the total amount of sugar we purchased and our total sales during that period.
In 2007, we introduced a mandatory policy to continuously reduce sugar levels, especially in products that have a significant impact on overall sugar intake. This includes set meals, snacks and drinks, as well as products aimed primarily at children, such as breakfast cereals.
We use a limited amount of sweeteners to reduce sugar and provide a sweet taste, for example in beverages, without compromising product quality, regulatory compliance or consumer preference.
Salt
We are committed to continually improving the nutritional value of our products while providing a pleasant taste.
Sodium is a component of many elements in the food we eat. Salt is the main source of sodium in our diet. Epidemiological studies have linked excessive sodium (or salt) intake to high blood pressure. There is scientific evidence that lowering blood pressure by reducing sodium (or salt) intake can reduce the risk of premature death from cardiovascular disease and stroke, as well as kidney disease.
In 2005, as part of our commitment to continuous product improvement to improve consumer health, Nestlé introduced a policy to significantly reduce the salt content of its products. By the end of 2007, we had reduced the level of salt in our products by 10%. By the end of 2014, we had reduced the salt level to 75% of the original recipes. Overall, we have reduced the use of salt in our product portfolio by over 12,000 metric tons over the past 14 years.
We have committed not to increase salt levels in our products, and to reduce salt levels in products where possible. Nutritionists are unanimous in their opinion that reducing salt intake has a positive effect on.
Trans fatty acids (TFA)
Since 1999, we have maintained a policy that, at normal consumption, the level of TFA in our products should not exceed 3% of the total fat content of foods, or 1% of the daily calorie intake (as recommended by the World Health Organization). We specifically advocate reducing TFA levels in foods for children and foods that contain high levels of TFA, such as soups, snacks, pizzas, and prepared meals.
TFAs occur naturally in milk fat. We use it extensively in production. It remains debatable whether they have the same effects as TFAs from vegetable oils. Therefore, milk fat is not covered by our policy. To meet a variety of nutritional needs, Nestlé offers low-fat, low-fat and whole dairy products.
Saturated fat
Our policy is to reduce saturated fatty acid levels where possible, not to increase existing levels. We support scientific advances in research on dietary saturated fatty acids and their health effects.
organic food
In some countries, Nestlé offers organic products in addition to its regular range, provided it makes commercial sense and is technically feasible.
In many countries, before a product is placed on the market, all health claims must be registered and approved by local authorities. In other countries (such as the US and the European Union), approval processes only apply to certain categories of food, in particular when they are new or when manufacturers claim health benefits. We believe all claims must be scientifically based and welcome regulations that help protect health and safety.
Nestlé strives to promote the principles of healthy eating in the food market, drawing the attention of consumers in its advertising to the need to lead an active lifestyle, while using the most cost-effective ways of exercising, such as for example.
Eating Talk brings parents and teachers together to build healthy habits for children
Moscow, September 29, 2016 − Nestlé Russia Company held a press conference "Family-School Partnership in Shaping a Nutrition Culture in Children and Adolescents", during which the joint participation of families and school teachers in shaping the principles of a healthy lifestyle among children was discussed. children and teenagers.
As part of the press conference, representatives of the territorial centers for the implementation of the Talk About Proper Nutrition program in Kazan and Orel spoke via teleconference. They shared their experience of working with schoolchildren and their parents in the process of developing healthy eating habits, including tips for organizing joint events and lectures.
According to Inna Potapova, Head of the Department of Health Protection at the Institute for the Development of Education in the Oryol Region, the Talk About Proper Nutrition program helps to achieve the goals set out in the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education: the formation of healthy lifestyle values for children and increasing the competence of parents in matters of protecting and promoting health child. In preschool institutions of the region, parents are happy to take part in various forms of joint activities with the child offered by the program, families show a very high competitive activity.
Parents play an important role in the implementation of the Program in Kazan as well. “With the introduction of the Nutrition Talk program, we have significantly changed the school food system, and parents are helping us improve it. We involve them as administrators in the school restaurant. They watch how children eat, how food is prepared. By analyzing the data received from them, we are improving the system of the school restaurant,” says Dilyara Karimova, director of school No. 146.
The importance of such events was assessed by independent experts - representatives of the public policy sector in the field of general education and child health.
“Food preferences in children are not formed instantly - it is a long systemic process that requires the active involvement of the family. A variety of ways are used to involve parents in the work of the program: competitions, culinary master classes, holidays for children and adults,” comments Maryana Bezrukikh, Director of the Institute of Developmental Physiology of the Russian Academy of Education.
Proper nutrition is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately, now there is a tendency to reduce the quality of nutrition in children and adolescents. This is confirmed by Adilya Safronova, senior researcher at the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution “Federal Research Center for Nutrition and Biotechnology”, candidate of medical sciences: “There is evidence that about 45% of 11-year-old children do not eat breakfast at home, and use not the most healthy foods for snacks. So, according to Rosstat, about 20% of 12-13-year-old children consume sweet carbonated drinks, and about 18% of children use chips, crackers and fast food products, while only 40% of children consume fermented milk products daily (data from the Institute of Nutrition). Therefore, we believe it is important to help children make healthy choices and develop good habits in them.”
“Studying the program allows the child not only to learn more about proper nutrition, but also to learn good habits related to taking care of their own health. As our studies show, children participating in the program are more likely to follow a diet, more often choose healthy dishes for their diet. At the same time, schoolchildren not only learn to eat right themselves, but also teach their parents how to do it,” summed up Alexandra Makeeva, head of the “Talk about Proper Nutrition” program.
