Scientific and Nutrition Support
The Nutrition and Scientific Support Department (SNS) ensures that research findings and the latest news on food, nutrition, health and wellness is disseminated across the entire Nestlé R&D community and businessess. In addition, we support R&D innovation by providing the tools, training and knowledge to assess and communicate the nutritional benefits of Nestlé products.
The department is composed of three interlinked groups: the first group provides Competitive and Scientific Information and Intelligence to our scientist, technologists, and to the management. The second group, Nutritional Assessment and Training, provides support, tools and training to improve the nutritional profile of our products and to increase the nutrition knowledge of Nestlé employees. The group collaborates with a wide network of nutritionists from around the world in our PTCs, R&D centres and business markets. The third group, Functional Ingredients, focuses on traditional and functional ingredients. This group documents the strength of scientific efficacy evidence, supports the compilation of dossiers for regulatory approval, and proposes new nutrition concepts.
The core of nutrition, health and wellness knowledge within the Nestlé R&D community, we supply information to our colleagues to allow efficient and timely responses to consumer health and wellness demands.
