Health & Nutrition
Supplying safe products is our top priority. Furthermore, we want to provide products that match consumers’ nutritional needs and, at the same time, inspire better food habits. We do this by providing a variety of nutritious products as well as recipes and transparent information.
Health Strategy
In 2014 we launched our health strategy, focusing on helping consumers live a healthier life. The strategy’s 3 elements are to promote a healthy diet, inspire good food habits, and develop products that meet nutritional criteria.

We want to champion good food habits and inspire a healthy life. A healthy daily diet leaves room for the occasional indulgence, which is also part of a good life.
We are making good progress:
- We provide recipes on our national websites, in brochures and via online apps
- In 2018, 1600 teenagers attended our food camps in Denmark, which focused on health, food and sustainability
- We collaborate with chefs and bloggers to encourage people to cook and adopt better food habits
- We engage with consumers online around the world
