As mothers, nothing matters more than your baby’s wellbeing. At Nestlé, that belief is at the heart of everything we do. We want to reassure parents in Singapore with full transparency and reaffirm the foundation on which NAN was built: science, safety, and an unwavering commitment to infant health for over 160 years.

A Legacy Built on Science and Care

Nestlé’s story began in 1866 with a mission to nourish infants who needed a safe feeding alternative. Over the years, generations of parents around the world have trusted our science‑backed nutrition to support their babies’ healthy development. Today, this legacy lives on through NAN, a brand shaped by decades of research in early childhood nutrition.

Behind every tin of NAN is a deep heritage of scientific learning, collaboration, and continuous advancement—all driven by one purpose: to understand babies’ needs and nourish them safely and effectively.

Science That Never Stops Advancing

NAN formulas are created with precision and guided by one of the world’s most advanced infant nutrition research ecosystems.

  • 600+ researchers specialising in infant health and nutrition
  • 80+ clinical studies and 200+ patented innovations shaping modern formula development
  • Global R&D teams working closely with leading universities and clinical experts

Every ingredient used in our formulas is selected with care, backed by scientific evidence, and designed to support babies’ immune health, growth, and development.

Safety and Quality: Our Highest Priority

Your baby’s safety comes first—always. That is why every NAN formula undergoes some of the most stringent quality and safety checks in the world.

  • Each batch is subject to quality checks from raw ingredients to finished product.
  • All infant‑grade ingredients come from trusted, audited suppliers.
  • Our production sites are certified under FSSC 22000, among the world’s toughest food safety standards.
  • We consistently meet—and often exceed—international regulations for infant formula.

Stringent Safety Controls

We have implemented additional safeguards across our supply chain and manufacturing processes:

  • Strengthened safety checks from pre‑production through to final product release
  • Additional testing protocols
  • Supplier changes to reinforce ingredient quality and reliability

All new batches fully comply with Singapore food regulations as well as Nestlé’s own internal standards—which are among the strictest globally.

Our Commitment Moving Forward

When something does not meet our own high standards, we act swiftly and transparently. We believe that integrity and responsibility must guide every decision we make.

Our promise to parents is simple and unwavering:

  • We will continue advancing our science.
  • We will uphold the highest product safety and quality standards.
  • We will stay transparent and proactive in safeguarding your baby’s nutrition.
  • We will keep earning your trust—every day, in every tin.

For 160 years, mothers have relied on Nestlé to nourish their little ones with care, expertise, and dedication. That commitment remains just as strong today.

Because when it comes to your baby, only the very best will do—today, tomorrow, and always.
