Tackling child micronutrient deficiencies: a continuing, urgent challenge

Quick Summary:

Being a mother and professional in the nutrition business, I am acutely conscious of malnutrition as a serious and widespread health concern, starting with micronutrient deficiencies (MND) among Filipino kids aged zero to five years old.

Having worked for over 2 decades at Nestlé Nutrition, an important part of my job is understanding the ins and outs of the nutritional challenges that young Filipino children face.

We consider all relevant aspects of MND in the country, food fortification principles, and the attributes of our products so that these will offer the best nutritional value.
