Nestlé is partnering with US-based biotechnology company Helaina to advance early-life nutrition. The multiyear partnership aims to understand new bioactive proteins and their role in early-life development. The Swiss company says the work will contribute to its ongoing efforts to translate scientific insights into nutrition solutions for specific health benefits. “Nestlé has always been at the forefront of advancing scientific knowledge on key nutrients and bioactives that are important during early life, including their interactions with the gut microbiome and the immune system,” says Isabelle Bureau‑Franz, head of the Nestlé Product Technology Center for Nutrition & Health.
