The company said yesterday (18 August) that it also contains nutritional information and contact details for customer services.

Sanjay Sehgal, head of Nestle’s Corporate Wellness Unit, said: “We know that people are often confused by the sheer number and variety of different labelling systems, endorsements, and quality seals they are faced with when choosing products.

“The Nutritional Compass stands out from the rest by encouraging and empowering consumers to make tastier and healthier choices in a friendly language that they can understand.”
