Nestlé’s ambition is to promote balanced and sustainable diets through AI-driven product development and rigorous nutrition standards. The company has been working on this goal for over 25 years, with initiatives such as reducing health-sensitive nutrients and increasing whole grains content. AI can play a significant role in helping individuals maintain better diets, and Nestlé is exploring the potential of AI-powered apps and platforms to provide personalized meal plans and nutrition information.
Nestlé is also integrating science-based solutions and AI to improve the nutritional value of its products. The company has developed a peer-reviewed nutrient-profiling system and is incorporating AI and data science to define the ideal recipe faster. This includes developing a connected recipe tool that leverages a database of 120,000 Nestlé recipes to predict the most suitable formulations.
The company has already developed several products that demonstrate the benefits of AI-assisted formulation, such as a breakfast cereal with reduced sugar and micro-aeration technologies in chocolate to create invisible air bubbles. Nestlé’s ultimate goal is to provide consumers with a balanced diet that is both enjoyable and sustainable, and it is committed to playing a leading role in achieving this goal.
