/ Chaowen News/August 01, 2022, Guangzhou -- The 15th National Conference on Nutrition Science has officially opened in Beijing. As a key academic event sponsored by the Chinese Nutrition Society, the National Nutrition Science Conference is an important platform to promote the comprehensive development of nutrition science. Nestle participated in the scientific gathering of nutrition scholars to share the group's latest achievements in the field of nutrition with colleagues in the industry and discuss the future development of nutrition scholars.
With the implementation of the "Healthy China 2030" plan, the public's focus on nutrition has been upgraded from eating enough to eating well and healthily. The demand for a better life is reflected in a more diverse and nutritious food supply. Nestle has always adhered to the strategy of "Nutrition, health and happy life", and used the unique NNPS (Nestle Nutrition Profiling System) to analyze and improve the nutritional value of Nestle products. In recent years, Nestle has brought consumers more healthy and delicious choices, including: plant-based food, low-sugar coffee, reduced salt soy sauce, whole grain and other products, as well as infant formula, special medical formula food, dietary supplements and other innovative products in the field of life science; It comprehensively covers the dietary and nutritional needs of infants, adolescents, adults, middle-aged and elderly people throughout their life cycle. With food, consumers expect brands to create products that are both nutritious and delicious. Nestle is committed to applying its expertise in nutrition and health to provide consumers with solutions that continuously reduce public health-sensitive ingredients such as sugar, sodium and saturated fat, while adding health-enhancing ingredients such as whole grain, protein, fiber and micronutrients to help combat the "double burden" of malnutrition and overweight/obesity and chronic diseases and help consumers make smarter choices.Take "sugar reduction" as an example, Nestle has been carrying out the global sugar reduction action for more than 20 years. "Sugar reduction" is not a simple process for Nestle -- "how to reduce sugar while maintaining taste and texture" is a central challenge. By optimizing processing to reduce sugar production, adding alternative sugar ingredients and changing the distribution of sugar in food, Nestle has reduced the sugar content of its products by 5.1% globally between 2016 and 2020. At the same time, Nestle Greater China has never stopped the pace of sugar reduction in its core businesses, such as food and beverage, and is constantly committed to promoting more products with reduced sugar/low sugar /0 sugar to the market.
On the other hand, in the "salt reduction" campaign, Nestle has also made remarkable results. As the representative of the Group's famous condiment brand -- Daole, we will officially launch the original fresh salt-reduced soy sauce series in 2021, which will reduce the salt by 25% on the basis of the original products without damaging the amino acid flavor substances, and truly achieve "light salt without weak taste, salt without fresh".
Innovation is the core driving force of Nestle's evergreen in the industry. Adhering to the concept of "global resources, Chinese solutions" and combining with the nutrition and health status and needs of Chinese consumers, Nestle takes it as its top priority to promote local innovation and create more nutritious and delicious products. Facing consumers of different ages, Nestle has launched a number of new products in the past two years. First of all, on the health issue of "one old and one young", Nestle brings two new product series respectively. In order to protect the nutrition in the early 1000 days of life, Qifu 3· future innovatively adds 6 kinds of core HMO(breast milk oligosaccharide) active nutrients, and the types and contents of Hmos exceed the global group. Studies have shown that Hmos help to support babies' immune system and help reduce the risk of infectious diseases. Nestle Yiyang promotes healthy aging. In view of the rapid increase in the prevalence of diabetes in China, we develop "sugar law" formula milk powder, add mulberry leaf extract prepared by patent technology, contain unique glucosidase inhibitors, delay the absorption of sugar in the intestine, and pay attention to low GI, 0 added sucrose, high dietary fiber and so on in the formula design, which can help stabilize blood sugar with catering.
In terms of adult personalized nutrition, the national per capita intake of dietary fiber has been at a low level, and there is still a downward trend. Increasing your dietary fiber intake has many benefits, but it can also lead to bloating and discomfort. Starting from the concept of personalized nutrition, "Fibrehead" develops AI algorithm for Chinese people's dietary fiber pattern judgment, and finds a more suitable dietary fiber combination through the matching of intestinal colony digestibility and dietary fiber, so as to accurately supplement nutrition.
Sustainable nutrition is a key issue that Nestle has paid close attention to in recent years. More and more scientific evidence shows that plant protein has lower carbon dioxide equivalent than animal protein for the same amount of protein and is more efficient to use per unit of land area. Nestle uses plant proteins and natural plant ingredients to create nutritious, tasty and sustainable food choices. With the advantages of low saturated fat, low cholesterol and zero trans fat, Nestle Black Technology -HME high humidity protein extrusion technology, the taste is close to the texture of real meat. Nestle Pea Drink takes pea protein as the main raw material, the protein content of the product is as high as 3.5g/100ml. Pea protein is rich in a variety of essential amino acids (with an amino acid score of 0.89) and can be digested and used up to 98% of the time in the body, making it a good source of protein to meet the needs of consumers for health and taste, while also benefiting our planet. With a diversified plant-based product lineup, Nestle demonstrates its determination to explore and practice for the protection of the planet.
As a company with more than 150 years of development in the field of global nutrition and health, Nestle once again won the top spot in the Global Nutrition Access Index (ATNI) released in 2021. This is the second time in a row that Nestle has topped the list since 2018. In the same year, Nestle also won the first place in the nutrition category ranking of the World Benchmark Alliance, which was fully recognized by the industry. Globally, Nestle shares the Global Nutrition and Health Map, which contains nutrition and health data of more than 190 countries and regions, for free, benefiting more people in the industry. Having been deeply engaged in the Chinese market for more than 30 years, Nestle has been actively promoting the close exchanges between the nutrition circles at home and abroad. In China, Nestle has organized more than 100 symposiums on nutrition in recent years, including 85 sessions of International Nutrition Forum, 8 sessions of Nestle Health Science Nutrition Forum, 2 sessions of Clinical Nutrition Summit Forum, etc., to promote the common growth of China's nutrition and health industry. Facing the future, Qu Xiangming, Chief Marketing Officer of Nestle Greater China, said, "In response to the call of Healthy China 2030, Nestle will continue to inject impetus into the high-quality innovative development of China's nutrition industry through product promotion and academic cooperation, and create a healthier, more scientific and more nutritious future with Chinese consumers."
