Nestlé says less than half of its mainstream food and drinks are considered ‘healthy’
Nestlé has acknowledged that the nutritional value of less than half its portfolio of mainstream food and drinks can be considered “healthy” using a commonly accepted definition, despite pressure on packaged foodmakers to make their products more nutritious.
The annual report of the world’s largest food company showed 54 per cent of its food and beverages by revenue — excluding products such as pet food, baby food, vitamins and specialised medical nutrition — were rated lower than 3.5 under the widely used health star rating (HSR) system.
