Nutrition

Since our founding, we have been committed to making nutritious food widely available. From our roots in the 19th century to today, we have actively promoted the use of leading-edge scientific methods and the highest standards in health and nutrition.

As one of the world’s largest food businesses, we can have a positive impact on the health of consumers by providing foods that make a beneficial contribution to a healthy diet. And by reducing the amounts of nutrients to limit, such as saturated and trans fats and sodium in many of our products, as well as by developing new products, such as our cholesterol-lowering Promise activ soft spread, we can contribute to good health.

Unilever is also involved in raising consumer awareness of the benefits of an overall healthy lifestyle and the importance of vitality to help people look good, feel good and get more out of life.

Food for thought

Our brand teams turn knowledge of health and nutrition into real food solutions that people enjoy and that fit into their everyday lives. We constantly reassess product formulations in light of new research, much of which we conduct ourselves in collaboration with scientists and academic institutions around the world.


Health and nutrition are at the heart of Unilever’s business and we’ll continue to broaden our expertise, increase resources, and develop new products that make healthy eating enjoyable, convenient, and affordable for consumers across the globe.
