Junior Regulatory & Scientific Affairs Specialist (RSA) – NHW ‘Good for you’ (G4Y)/ Market Nutritionist: your challenge

Nestlé takes care to provide tasty and nutritious food, with “feeling good” at the heart of everything we do. It’s not just the taste of a product that matters, but also its nutritional value. Clear communication about nutrition is essential to help our consumers make responsible food choices. To make this concrete, Nestlé has implemented a Good for You (G4Y) strategy. Pleasure, balance, and understanding—the core values of this strategy—are reflected across all Nestlé brands. The Nutrition, Health and Wellness- Good for You function ensures this is brought to life.

The Regulatory and Scientific Affairs team is responsible for the creation, validation and translation of the (mandatory) label text which should be in line with EU and local food regulations and internal general guidelines.
