Creating delicious and nutritious products packed with essential nutrients, for all stages of life

Tastier & Healthier Food

Millions of people around the world enjoy Danone products everyday. To support our consumers throughout their lives and make a positive impact on their nutrition and well-being, we focus on four core health-driven categories: Essential Dairy and Plant-Based Products, Waters, and Specialized Nutrition.

Our goal is to develop products that not only taste great but also meet the evolving nutritional needs of our consumers at every stage of life. By offering products that combine great taste with essential nutrients, we help them adopt and maintain a more balanced and healthier diet.

Focusing on essential nutrients

Our everyday products are designed to provide key nutrients like calcium, protein, vitamins, and fiber, while reducing ingredients like added sugars, saturated fats, and calories. Whether it’s our Essential Dairy and Plant-Based products, Waters, or Specialized Nutrition, we are committed to making every product as nutritious as it is enjoyable. We understand that consumers seek both taste and health, and we continually innovate to meet these expectations.

Promoting healthier choices

We engage with consumers, patients, caregivers, and stakeholders transparently to encourage healthier eating and drinking habits. We believe in clear, easy-to-understand labeling, responsible marketing, and promoting flexibility in diets through plant-based options and flexitarian approaches.

 

By 2025, we aim to provide interpretative information on our packaging wherever possible, making it easier for consumers to make informed, healthier choices.

Promoting positive nutrition and hydration

At Danone, we are convinced that nutrition can have a lasting, positive impact on health and well-being. We focus on addressing key issues such as nutritional deficiencies, specific medical needs, and food and water security. In the near future, we have set ambitious goals: improving nutrition through food fortification, developing projects to combat iron deficiency anemia, and supporting initiatives that increase access to safe drinking water. We are also committed to supporting women in their choice to breastfeed by developing global projects aimed at promoting and protecting this vital practice.

Investing in nutrition and hydration science

Research, science, and innovation are deeply embedded in Danone’s DNA. Since 1919, when Isaac Carasso developed the first Danone yogurt, inspired by the scientific work of Nobel prize-winning biologist Ilya Mechnikov, we have continuously innovated in the fields of gut health, biotics, and nutrition. This legacy of scientific exploration has made us a leader in developing nutritious foods that benefit both consumers and patients. Danone’s research focuses on areas such as gut health, children’s growth, immunity, recovery, and physical performance, with the goal of improving health outcomes and ensuring the superiority of our products. We are committed to continuing to invest in research that demonstrates how nutrition can positively impact health at every stage of life, from early childhood to healthy aging.
