Building healthy hearts, Nestle says

Nestle, one of the world's largest consumer goods firms, has taken significant steps in China to promote better awareness about heart health and for prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

The company, which makes products ranging from Gerber baby food and Nescafe coffee to Kit Kat chocolate and Maggi soups, was the official partner of the World Heart Day in China, which fell on Sept 29 this year.

"We have played a big role in promoting cardiovascular health in China," said Alessandre Keller, vice-president of Nestle's food and beverage division.
