Nestlé for Healthier Kids

Focusing on healthier lifestyles for children! 

Today, more than 2 billion people in the world are overweight or obese and 800 million are malnourished. This calls for action.

At Nestlé, we believe that by helping new generations eat and drink better and move more, we enhance quality of life and contribute to a healthier future.

This is how we started more than 150 years ago when our founder Henri Nestlé created an infant cereal that saved the life of a child.

This is how we continue to act, by launching Nestlé for Healthier Kids, an initiative that federates all our efforts to support parents & caregivers on their journey to raise healthier kids.

Enabling healthier and happier lives

From leading research to product development, from education to innovative nutrition and lifestyle services, our ambition is to help 50 million children lead healthier lives by 2030. Find our more about our three focus areas.

Nestlé Cereals make breakfast better

LEARN MORE

Nestlé Breakfast Cereals inspires families to enjoy a balanced breakfast.

 

Studies show that many children are not getting enough whole grain in their diets. Too often they skip breakfast or don’t get enough from it. 6

 

At Nestlé Breakfast Cereals, we believe that a better breakfast is more than a good start to the day - it’s the foundation for a better future.

 

We’ve made wholegrain the number one ingredient in our children’s products and are further reducing sugar. Most of our breakfast cereals for children are also fortified with at least seven vitamins and two minerals.

 

We’re helping parents create a balanced breakfast, with guidance on portion size and inspiring food combinations, so that children can enjoy a nutritious and tasty start to the day.

Many children suffer from deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals such as iron. Worldwdie 40% of pre-schoolers are anaemic.

 

That is why Cerelac infant cereals are fortified with key micronutrients (iron, zinc, vitamin A and vitamin C).

 

Cerelac is suitable as a first complementary food for infants from 6 months onwards, when breast milk alone no longer meets the baby's growing nutritional requirements.

 

A recent study in India showed that young children who consume fortified cereals have a reduced risk of iron deficiency anaemia.
