EXPECTING MORE FROM OUR FOOD

It is increasingly clear that our global food system requires a more sustainable path forward. As a result, many of us are giving more thought to what we eat and drink—and understanding how this impacts our health, the environment and the communities around us. We make decisions that take the long-term interests of future generations into consideration to benefit people and the planet.

The food we choose to nourish ourselves and our families reflects each of us, and our values. We expect companies and brands to be authentic and transparent when answering our questions.

The power to change our food system, and our world, is within each of us. Every time we eat and drink, we vote for the world in which we want to live.

SUPPORTING BREASTFEEDING

Danone supports the WHO’s global public health recommendation and government policies calling for exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of age and continued breastfeeding up to two years and beyond, combined with the safe introduction of appropriate complementary foods.

We believe that it is the industry’s responsibility to adopt, implement and enforce strict policies to ensure marketing practices do not negatively affect the choice and ability of mothers to breastfeed their infants optimally, in line with the WHO International Code of Marketing of Breast-Milk Substitutes.

We are committed to fostering a proactive, constructive and evidence-based dialogue supporting breastfeeding around the world and endorse the principles of openness, transparency and integrity in our advocacy activities.

THE POWER OF NUTRITION THROUGHOUT LIFE

We have been pioneering nutritional solutions since 1986, when our founders first began their early support of mothers and their infants. Since then, our nutritional solutions have transformed the lives of millions of people around the world. That pioneering spirit lives on today with an ongoing commitment to provide life-transforming nutrition at key moments throughout life.

INTRODUCING HAPPY FAMILY: US’ #1 ORGANIC BABY FOOD, NOW IN THE UAE

What started out as a premium, organic frozen baby food line in just 5 locations across New York City on Mother’s Day 2006 is now the #1 brand of organic food for babies and toddlers in the United States.

Happy Family is on a mission to change the trajectory of children’s health through nutrition. Throughout its 14-year journey as a family-run company, it saw the launch of the first organic baby food cereal with probiotics and DHA (Happy Bellies) and a gluten-free snack (Happy Baby Puffs) and developed innovative food packaging alternatives to glass jars, from its innovative pouches in 2009 to the first fully transparent pouches with premium ingredients you can see in 2016, the Clearly Crafted^TM. The following year, they started the Infant Feeding Support Platform to provide parents with exceptional infant resources from nutrition experts and lactation consultants.

Now for the first time in the UAE, Happy Family is available online and in stores across 75% of hypermarkets and 50% of supermarkets nationwide.

SPECIALIZED NUTRITION

At Danone we strongly believe that the health of people and the planet are interconnected, and our aim is to inspire healthier and more sustainable eating and drinking choices for everyone, including those with specific nutritional needs.

Through our specialized nutrition brands and broad range of support programs and services, we work to fulfil people’s specific nutritional needs throughout life in a way that positively impacts the health of local communities and helps to preserve the planet for future generations.

We focus on specialized nutrition for:

Healthy growth and development in early life

What we eat and drink as babies influences our lifelong health and can impact our food preferences later in life. We know that breast milk is the best source of nutrition with many short and long-term benefits for both infants and mothers. However, some women who cannot or choose not to breastfeed need safe, healthy options for their children. Our portfolio of baby formula products is based on years of scientific research and innovation and is designed to meet the nutritional needs of babies in early life.

Health conditions in early life

Sometimes highly specialized medical nutrition is necessary in early life. If babies are born prematurely or are diagnosed with cow’s milk allergy, normal infant nutrition may not be sufficient to support their growth. To manage their condition and alleviate symptoms, these babies need specially formulated medical nutrition.

Some babies and young children are diagnosed with faltering growth as a result of an underlying medical condition or cannot eat and drink normally and need medical nutrition products that provide a balance of energy, protein, vitamins and minerals to help them grow and thrive.

Nutrition in times of illness

In adulthood, adapted nutrition can support recovery from illnesses and address malnutrition that can develop due to the disease. People who have suffered a stroke or who are fighting illnesses such as cancer can have difficulty meeting their nutritional needs through normal food alone. This means they need specific nutrition, in specialized formats. In these scenarios, medical nutrition can support better clinical outcomes and provide food and drink adjusted to the specific nutritional needs of patients.

Nutrition as we age

As we get older, we all want to continue being able to do the things we value and enjoy the most, but as we age, we become more vulnerable to malnutrition due to an underlying disease or condition. In fact, as many as one in three older people living in care homes are at risk of malnutrition[1]. If not diagnosed, malnutrition can lead to muscle loss and physical frailty, making older people more vulnerable to falls and fractures. The right nutritional care at the right time can support older people maintain their mobility and independence, enabling them to age in good health.

Our range of medical nutrition products is specifically adapted into formats that address eating and drinking difficulties that an older person might experience, which can put these people at risk of malnutrition.
