INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCING A FOOD PRODUCT WITH NUTRITIONAL DIMENSION ON THE
MARKET
Nutrition vs regulatory expectations? Nutrient profiles
anticipation ?
Nutrition vs commonly admitted standards ?
Nutrition compared to competitors ?
And other dimensions: taste, positioning etc
4
COST VS BENEFIT !
NUTRIENT PROFILING - INTRODUCTION
OBJECTIVE: TO DISCRIMINATE FOODS ON THE BASIS OF NUTRITIONAL
CHARACTERISTICS AND REGARDING THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO A
HEALTHY DIET
SEVERAL SYSTEMS
Including only nutrients to be limited (sugar, SFA, Na…) or
also positive nutrients to favor (fibers, vitamins, Ca…)
Systems of thresholds or scoring
SEVERAL APPLICATIONS
Determining eligibility to health claims or marketing
Driving portfolio development
Helping consumers make healthy choices
NOTE: NO MODEL DEFINED AT THE EU LEVEL TO DATE
5
NUTRITIONAL MAPPING - INTRODUCTION
OBJECTIVE: TO COMPARE DIFFERENT PRODUCTS (OR CONCEPTS)
BASED ON NUTRITIONAL QUALITY AND POTENTIAL OTHER
DIMENSIONS OF INTEREST (COST, CLAIMS, HEALTH POSITIONING…)
STEPS:
Identify direct and indirect competitors and obtain nutritional and
marketing information
On the basis of these data, build mappings
Analysis & Interpretation
SEVERAL POSSIBLE MAPPINGS, ADAPTED TO MARKET STUDIED
On nutrients to limit (sugar vs. fat, Na vs. fat…)
On nutrients to favor (protein vs. fibers, vit D vs. Ca…)
With nutritional density, integrating marketing dimension (cost,
naturality…)

Benefits communication and image of food companies
91% of our products contribute to a healthy diet by
delivering significant amounts of essential nutrients
20% of our products were reduced in fat, sugar

dairy products compliant with our highest daily
consumption nutrition standards and 9.8 billion
portions of water
