We met our 2020 objective to reduce saturated fat in all relevant products. In the course of this work, we have reduced the levels of saturated fat in many products, including in brands such as Maggi.
This effort aligns with the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation that only 10% of calories in our diet should come from saturated fats.
Our direction of travel is to move beyond focusing on single nutrients to taking a more holistic approach to nutrition. We have a measurable and timebound target to increase our offering of more nutritious products. Reducing saturated fats in relevant categories will be key to achieving this objective. We continue to implement new technologies to improve the nutritional value of our products, as highlighted in our latest Creating Shared Value at Nestlé: Our impact (pdf, 17Mb) publication.
It’s also important to remember that fats and oils are an important part of a healthy and balanced diet. They provide energy, help us absorb vitamins, and contribute to essential bodily functions.
