Role and Responsibility

Nestlé strives to be a leader in nutrition, health and wellness, with the belief that  good food is central to health and wellness. At the Nestlé Research Center, nutrition research meets food innovation to bring consumers of all ages and stages of life, foods and beverages that contribute to health and wellness, while offering remarkable taste and convenience.

NRC scientists seek insight into the complex psychological, physiological, physical, chemical and biochemical mechanisms of food-consumer interactions. Innovations in nutrition research at the Nestlé Research Center target specific health benefits through food including: growth and development, protection, digestive comfort, weight control, performance, health and beauty and healthy aging. These targeted research areas demand a multidisciplinary approach of the physical, biological, medical and social sciences.
