In addition to offering tasty and nutritiouser products of high quality, Nestlé also currently has more than 100 products certified with the Healthier Choice Logo, with lower sugar, sodium, and fat content. At the same time, over the past 16 years, we have continued to organize activities to share health and nutrition knowledge to Thais nationwide. It is an honor for Nestlé to officially sign this MOU with the NAT to promote good health and nutrition among Thai people. We hope that our partnership will bring progress to nutrition research and help Thais reduce NCDs.”
