For people who rely on tube feeding, getting the nutrition they need in a simple and safe way can make a meaningful difference to everyday life. To help make feeding routines easier for patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals, Nestlé is expanding its medical nutrition portfolio with Compleat Bolus Blends, a nutritionally complete, plant-based product range developed to simplify tube feeding.
Compleat Bolus Blends is designed for bolus feeding, where a measured amount of nutrition is delivered through a feeding tube over a short period, several times a day. Unlike traditional syringe-based administration, the ready-to-use Compleat Bolus Blends features the patented SimpLink cap*, designed to connect directly to the patient's feeding tube. This eliminates the need to transfer the product from its original packaging into a syringe before feeding, helping reduce spills and unnecessary handling while making tube feeding easier to manage, whether at home or on the go.
"People who rely on tube feeding, and the caregivers who support them, need nutrition that is complete, safe, and practical for everyday life," said Serena Aboutboul, Head of the Nutrition & Health Strategic Business Unit at Nestlé. "With Compleat Bolus Blends, we want to help reduce the everyday burden of tube feeding by providing the nutrition people need in a format that offers greater flexibility, including when they are away from home."
The new range is made with more than 50% fruit and vegetables and includes plant-based proteins. It is available in two age-adapted formulas: one for children aged one year and above, and one for people aged 11 years and above.
Compleat Bolus Blends is launching across Europe between November 2026 and early 2027, starting in Germany, Austria, Benelux, Italy, the Nordic countries, and the United Kingdom. Further launches are planned in the Middle East, Australia, and Türkiye.
The launch expands Nestlé's medical nutrition portfolio, one of the company's strategic growth platforms, and supports its ambition to strengthen its position in medical nutrition.
*The Nestlé-patented SimpLink cap connects directly to a compatible feeding tube via its built-in ENFit connector, simplifying feeding without extra equipment.
