&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Swiss multinational food and beverage multinational has admitted some of its products will never be healthy no matter how much it reformulates them&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Good Food, Good Life&amp;rdquo; is the mission statement of one of the world&amp;rsquo;s leading nutrition, health and wellness multinational, Nestle SA. One can quickly catch words and phrases such as &amp;lsquo;healthy&amp;rsquo;, &amp;lsquo;healthier lives&amp;rsquo;, &amp;lsquo;healthier future&amp;rsquo; while scrolling through its website, which does does lull a na&amp;iuml;ve consumer into a false sense of security.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But there is a catch: Over 60 per cent of Nestle&amp;rsquo;s products &amp;mdash; excluding pet food and specialised medical nutrition &amp;mdash; were unhealthy, according to Australia&amp;rsquo;s health star rating system. This was according to a report published by United Kingdom business daily Financial Times.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A product meets the &amp;lsquo;healthy&amp;rsquo; threshold based on nutrient content of fats, salt and sugar in the foods if it is rated 3.5 stars or more out of 5.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Nestle acknowledged this and said it would look at its entire portfolio to make sure its products helped meet people&amp;rsquo;s nutritional needs and supporting a &amp;ldquo;balanced diet&amp;rdquo;. It also stated that it had reduced sugar and sodium / salt in its products by about 14-15 per cent in the last seven years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;And yet, its 100g Kit Kat chocolate wafer contains 49 grams of sugar &amp;mdash; double the upper limit recommended for consumption in a day (25g i.e. 5 per cent of energy required in day). Its Maggi Masala contains 3.7 g of salt &amp;mdash; this exhausts the 75 per cent of recommended daily allowance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It is not just Nestle; the entire packaged food industry sells unhealthy foods. Only 16 per cent edible and packaged products achieve a rating of 3.5 stars or more, according to Access to Nutrition India Spotlight Index 2020, which assessed 1,456 Indian food and beverage products by 16 manufacturers that accounted for 31 per cent of India&amp;rsquo;s packaged food and beverage market share.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Another study funded by Access to Nutrition Foundation factored in 943 products sold by the 11 largest Indian manufacturers, including Nestle, suggested a health star rating of only 1.8; 54 per cent products had rating of 1.5 or below, meaning they were unhealthy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Other studies have found that packaged food sold in India, also by multinational corporations has higher content of these critical nutrients such as salt and sugar than many other countries.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Swiss multinational food and beverage multinational has admitted some of its products will never be healthy no matter how much it reformulates them&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Good Food, Good Life&amp;rdquo; is the mission statement of one of the world&amp;rsquo;s leading nutrition, health and wellness multinational, Nestle SA. One can quickly catch words and phrases such as &amp;lsquo;healthy&amp;rsquo;, &amp;lsquo;healthier lives&amp;rsquo;, &amp;lsquo;healthier future&amp;rsquo; while scrolling through its website, which does does lull a na&amp;iuml;ve consumer into a false sense of security.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But there is a catch: Over 60 per cent of Nestle&amp;rsquo;s products &amp;mdash; excluding pet food and specialised medical nutrition &amp;mdash; were unhealthy, according to Australia&amp;rsquo;s health star rating system. This was according to a report published by United Kingdom business daily Financial Times.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A product meets the &amp;lsquo;healthy&amp;rsquo; threshold based on nutrient content of fats, salt and sugar in the foods if it is rated 3.5 stars or more out of 5.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Nestle acknowledged this and said it would look at its entire portfolio to make sure its products helped meet people&amp;rsquo;s nutritional needs and supporting a &amp;ldquo;balanced diet&amp;rdquo;. It also stated that it had reduced sugar and sodium / salt in its products by about 14-15 per cent in the last seven years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;And yet, its 100g Kit Kat chocolate wafer contains 49 grams of sugar &amp;mdash; double the upper limit recommended for consumption in a day (25g i.e. 5 per cent of energy required in day). Its Maggi Masala contains 3.7 g of salt &amp;mdash; this exhausts the 75 per cent of recommended daily allowance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It is not just Nestle; the entire packaged food industry sells unhealthy foods. Only 16 per cent edible and packaged products achieve a rating of 3.5 stars or more, according to Access to Nutrition India Spotlight Index 2020, which assessed 1,456 Indian food and beverage products by 16 manufacturers that accounted for 31 per cent of India&amp;rsquo;s packaged food and beverage market share.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Another study funded by Access to Nutrition Foundation factored in 943 products sold by the 11 largest Indian manufacturers, including Nestle, suggested a health star rating of only 1.8; 54 per cent products had rating of 1.5 or below, meaning they were unhealthy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Other studies have found that packaged food sold in India, also by multinational corporations has higher content of these critical nutrients such as salt and sugar than many other countries.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Swiss multinational food and beverage multinational has admitted some of its products will never be healthy no matter how much it reformulates them&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Good Food, Good Life&amp;rdquo; is the mission statement of one of the world&amp;rsquo;s leading nutrition, health and wellness multinational, Nestle SA. One can quickly catch words and phrases such as &amp;lsquo;healthy&amp;rsquo;, &amp;lsquo;healthier lives&amp;rsquo;, &amp;lsquo;healthier future&amp;rsquo; while scrolling through its website, which does does lull a na&amp;iuml;ve consumer into a false sense of security.&lt;/p&gt;

This was according to a report published by United Kingdom business daily Financial Times.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A product meets the &amp;lsquo;healthy&amp;rsquo; threshold based on nutrient content of fats, salt and sugar in the foods if it is rated 3.5 stars or more out of 5.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Nestle acknowledged this and said it would look at its entire portfolio to make sure its products helped meet people&amp;rsquo;s nutritional needs and supporting a &amp;ldquo;balanced diet&amp;rdquo;. It also stated that it had reduced sugar and sodium / salt in its products by about 14-15 per cent in the last seven years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Swiss multinational food and beverage multinational has admitted some of its products will never be healthy no matter how much it reformulates them&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Good Food, Good Life&amp;rdquo; is the mission statement of one of the world&amp;rsquo;s leading nutrition, health and wellness multinational, Nestle SA. One can quickly catch words and phrases such as &amp;lsquo;healthy&amp;rsquo;, &amp;lsquo;healthier lives&amp;rsquo;, &amp;lsquo;healthier future&amp;rsquo; while scrolling through its website, which does does lull a na&amp;iuml;ve consumer into a false sense of security.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But there is a catch: Over 60 per cent of Nestle&amp;rsquo;s products &amp;mdash; excluding pet food and specialised medical nutrition &amp;mdash; were unhealthy, according to Australia&amp;rsquo;s health star rating system. This was according to a report published by United Kingdom business daily Financial Times.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A product meets the &amp;lsquo;healthy&amp;rsquo; threshold based on nutrient content of fats, salt and sugar in the foods if it is rated 3.5 stars or more out of 5.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Nestle acknowledged this and said it would look at its entire portfolio to make sure its products helped meet people&amp;rsquo;s nutritional needs and supporting a &amp;ldquo;balanced diet&amp;rdquo;. It also stated that it had reduced sugar and sodium / salt in its products by about 14-15 per cent in the last seven years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;And yet, its 100g Kit Kat chocolate wafer contains 49 grams of sugar &amp;mdash; double the upper limit recommended for consumption in a day (25g i.e. 5 per cent of energy required in day). Its Maggi Masala contains 3.7 g of salt &amp;mdash; this exhausts the 75 per cent of recommended daily allowance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It is not just Nestle; the entire packaged food industry sells unhealthy foods. Only 16 per cent edible and packaged products achieve a rating of 3.5 stars or more, according to Access to Nutrition India Spotlight Index 2020, which assessed 1,456 Indian food and beverage products by 16 manufacturers that accounted for 31 per cent of India&amp;rsquo;s packaged food and beverage market share.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Another study funded by Access to Nutrition Foundation factored in 943 products sold by the 11 largest Indian manufacturers, including Nestle, suggested a health star rating of only 1.8; 54 per cent products had rating of 1.5 or below, meaning they were unhealthy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Other studies have found that packaged food sold in India, also by multinational corporations has higher content of these critical nutrients such as salt and sugar than many other countries.&lt;/p&gt;

Nestle admits its food portfolio unhealthy: Why front of pack labelling is important -Sonal Dhingra

-Down to Earth The Swiss multinational food and beverage multinational has admitted some of its products will never be healthy no matter how much it reformulates them “Good Food, Good Life” is the mission statement of one of the world’s leading nutrition, health and wellness multinational, Nestle SA. One can quickly catch words and phrases such as ‘healthy’, ‘healthier lives’, ‘healthier future’ while scrolling through its website, which does does lull a naïve consumer into a false sense of security. But there is a catch: Over 60 per cent of Nestle’s products — excluding pet food and specialised medical nutrition — were unhealthy, according to Australia’s health star rating system. This was according to a report published by United Kingdom business daily Financial Times. A product meets the ‘healthy’ threshold based on nutrient content of fats, salt and sugar in the foods if it is rated 3.5 stars or more out of 5. Nestle acknowledged this and said it would look at its entire portfolio to make sure its products helped meet people’s nutritional needs and supporting a “balanced diet”. It also stated that it had reduced sugar and sodium / salt in its products by about 14-15 per cent in the last seven years. And yet, its 100g Kit Kat chocolate wafer contains 49 grams of sugar — double the upper limit recommended for consumption in a day (25g i.e. 5 per cent of energy required in day). Its Maggi Masala contains 3.7 g of salt — this exhausts the 75 per cent of recommended daily allowance. It is not just Nestle; the entire packaged food industry sells unhealthy foods. Only 16 per cent edible and packaged products achieve a rating of 3.5 stars or more, according to Access to Nutrition India Spotlight Index 2020, which assessed 1,456 Indian food and beverage products by 16 manufacturers that accounted for 31 per cent of India’s packaged food and beverage market share. Another study funded by Access to Nutrition Foundation factored in 943 products sold by the 11 largest Indian manufacturers, including Nestle, suggested a health star rating of only 1.8; 54 per cent products had rating of 1.5 or below, meaning they were unhealthy. Other studies have found that packaged food sold in India, also by multinational corporations has higher content of these critical nutrients such as salt and sugar than many other countries.
