Nestlé has privately accepted that more than 60 per cent of its 2,000 products are not healthy and some never will be. A presentation circulated among senior executives acknowledged that most of its mainstream products do not meet a 'recognised definition of health'. The firm has cut sugar and salt levels but concedes 'some of our products will never be 'healthy' no matter how much we renovate'. In the UK, a number of big-selling Nestlé products score a red rating for sugar, salt and fat under the Food Standards Agency's traffic light system. Nestlé, which is based in Switzerland, is updating its internal nutrition standards as part of a wider move to define itself as a 'nutrition, health and wellness company'.
