Health & Nutrition

As part of our brand promise – Pure Enjoyment, Pure Goodness – F&N is dedicated to ensuring that our products contribute positively to the health and well-being of our consumers. Beyond our strict adherence to all relevant product safety standards, we have established a Nutrition Charter that defines our commitment to developing products that are healthier, more responsible, and trusted by consumers.

The F&N Nutrition Charter outlines our commitment to developing products that are healthy for consumers and it guides us throughout product development. The principles of the Nutrition Charter are:

Our commitment to health and nutrition is anchored in clear principles that shape how we design, develop, and communicate our products. At the core is our focus on improving nutritional quality. We continuously reformulate and innovate to reduce sugar, fat, and sodium, while increasing the presence of beneficial nutrients—ensuring our products not only taste good but also contribute positively to consumers’ health and well-being.

We apply nutrition profiling in line with each market’s Healthier Choice Logo (HCL) criteria to guide product development and reformulation. Beyond compliance, we adopt stricter voluntary standards:

• No Partially Hydrogenated Oils (PHO): Artificial trans fats are completely excluded from our portfolio.
• Sugar Reduction: Voluntary limits ensure that most beverages and dairy products contain no more than 5% added sugar.

Equally important is making healthier choices both affordable and accessible. We believe good nutrition should not be a privilege but a standard available to all. To this end, we invest in R&D not only to strengthen nutritional value but also to create affordable product formats, packaging, and pricing strategies that reach diverse consumer groups, including those in lower-income segments.

Our approach is guided by both local regulations and international best practices, including:

• HCL Standards: Supporting national health agendas through product innovation, policy engagement, and consumer education.

• WHO Guidelines on Sugar, Saturated Fat, and Trans Fat: Voluntary sugar targets, full exclusion of industrial trans fats, and alignment with global recommendations.

• Responsible Marketing to Children: Restricting advertising to those under 12 years old.

• National Food Regulations: Meeting fortification requirements to address national nutrient deficiencies.

Recognising the importance of balanced consumption, we also promote responsible portioning through smaller pack sizes (e.g., 240 ml mini cans) and portion-controlled packs that encourage moderation while improving affordability.

Integrity and responsibility extend to how we communicate. All product claims are transparent, evidence-based, and never misleading, ensuring consumers can trust the information provided. Comprehensive labelling and nutrient declarations across all markets further empower informed decision-making.

We set measurable targets and are proud of our progress:

• Artificial Trans Fats: 100% of our food, dairy, and beverage products are free from artificial/industrial trans fats.

• Sugar Reduction: Over 70% of our products now contain no more than 5% added sugar.

Our R&D continues to drive progress by:

• Advancing sugar reduction and fortification with essential vitamins and minerals.

• Innovating healthier options such as low glycemic index (GI) formulations.

• Developing smaller pack sizes and setting ceiling price points to improve affordability without compromising quality.

We also design products that address the needs of priority populations, particularly those with higher nutritional risks or limited financial resources. Key initiatives include:

• Affordable Fortified Nutrition: Canned milk enriched with vitamins and minerals for lower-income households.

• Smaller Pack Sizes & Price Points: Products designed to be affordable and within reach for wider communities.

• Community Support During Festive Periods: Distribution of nutritious products to vulnerable groups, such as during Chinese New Year and Ramadan.

• School Milk Program Participation: Supporting the national programme to strengthen children’s nutritional intake and healthy growth.

Through these commitments, we extend the benefits of good nutrition across all segments of society, creating long-term value by promoting healthier lifestyles, encouraging responsible consumption, and strengthening consumer trust in F&N products.
