Nestlé: a global leader in nutrition research

For over a century, Nestlé’s commitment to research into food and nutrition has benefited consumers by using science to develop safer, healthier and better tasting products.

Today, the Nestlé Research Centre in Lausanne, Switzerland is the world’s largest private nutrition research institution, specialising in food, nutrition, safety, quality and life sciences.

Based on the principle that today’s knowledge provides the foundations for tomorrow’s innovations, we continue to invest in programmes that expand our understanding of the health benefits food and beverages can provide - translating scientific knowledge into creating new and improved Nestlé products.
