Nestlé Nutritional Compass

Making healthier choices for you and your family can be very confusing. We at Nestlé Family want to provide you with the relevant information to help you make healthier choices. We believe that by providing transparent and easy to understand nutrition information on all our products, we can meet this vision, which is why we offer an approach to labeling to help you achieve a balanced diet.This approach is called the Nestlé Nutritional Compass® and is present on all our product packs. Below is an interactive example.

People vary in many ways, such as sex, age, size and activity levels, therefore GDAs should be taken as guidelines and not targets.
