Good Food, Good Life is the very essence of Nestlé and this philosophy can be traced back to our beginnings. The Nestlé Company was founded in 1867 by Henri Nestlé, who developed the first milk-based baby formula in order to save the life of a neighbour’s baby. His Farine Lactée formula went on to nourish many babies who were unable to feed from their mothers or unable to accept the usual substitutes. Since this beginning, nutrition has been the heart of the Nestlé business. At Nestlé, we believe that every food has a role to play in achieving a balanced diet. This is why we produce and market a wide range of foods and beverages which satisfy many consumer needs – nutrient content, variety, pleasure and convenience – which all contribute to achieving a balanced diet and overall well-being. We continue to use our extensive scientific knowledge to develop new products to help consumers manage their health, well-being and body weight and to improve the nutritional profiles of existing products.
