Nestle is on a health mission! It is cutting salt content in Maggi, sugar in chocolates

It seems Nestle is quite concerned about your health and is shifting to healthy foods. In its endeavour to promote healthy living, Nestle will be reducing salt and sodium content in its Maggi noodles and cutting sugar by about 10% in KitKat chocolate and dairy products.

Besides, Nestle will increase portion control in Munch chocolates.

"We are working to improve the nutrient profile of our products, and proactively reducing sodium, salt, sugar, saturated fats and trans-fats across relevant product categories through ongoing product reformulations,” Nestle spokesperson told ET.

Furthermore, Nestle SA will reduce sugars, sodium, saturated fats and trans-fats, introduce nutritious products, step up food fortification, remove artificial colours, restrict marketing to children, step up nutrition data on packs at points of sale and online, and disseminate information on portion control.

"We are looking at fortification in our mass consumption products as well and are committed to removing artificial colours. We are providing consumers with nutrition information on food labels, guidance on daily intake for energy and key nutrients and portion guidance,” the company spokesperson added.
