Quality and Food Safety from Farm to Fork

The only way to ensure the trust of our consumers is to instill quality and food safety from farm to fork.

We look at our supply chain a little bit differently than most food companies as we consider R&D as an integral element in the way we manage food safety.

When it comes to food safety in our supply chain, we leverage our R&D horsepower to:

Study global food safety data & trends so we can be prepared to prevent emerging issues
Develop new and more sensitive analytical methods for contaminants, allergens, and pathogens.
Develop new methods of food manufacture to ensure not only the most flavorful and high quality outcome but also food safety by design.

Vendor Raw Material Management

Ultimately, the products we make are only as good as the raw materials we use so Nestlé goes to great lengths to source high quality, nutritious ingredients from all over the world.
This often means working closely with farmers and agricultural ingredient processors to ensure not only quality of the produce but also that the social and environmental aspects of production meet our expectations.
Our customers and consumers are increasingly interested in where their food comes from and the story behind it. For this reason, Nestlé has invested in state of the art traceability systems for a number of priority ingredients.
