Micronutrient Fortification

We’re fortifying our foods and beverages to help children and families around the world get the micronutrients they need.

Our commitment

Address under-nutrition through micronutrient fortification

Why it matters

About a third of the world’s population suffers from deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals (Global Nutrition Report), leading to impaired growth, physical and intellectual development and compromised immunity. In response, we fortify popular foods and beverages with micronutrients that are unavailable or deficient in local diets, focusing on children and families in developing and high-priority countries.

Our approach

Nestlé India is committed to reducing micronutrient deficiencies across India through fortification of our products. Our Popularly Positioned Products (PPPs) are fortified with micronutrients to counter under nutrition, especially among lower-income consumers.

Nestlé India has been continuously innovating products positioned for health and nutrition with key micronutrient fortification across its portfolio. In this journey, the company has sold 8.9 billions of fortified servings in the year 2022 through various products such as Instant Noodles, Seasonings, Infant formula, Growing up milk, breakfast cereals.
