Nestlé Professional and Worldchefs are once again teaming up on International Chefs Day to promote healthier eating for children.
This year's theme - Healthy Foods for Growing Up - encourages kids to think about what they would like to be when they grow up, and how healthy eating today can help them get there.
International Chefs Day activities take place on or around October 20 with a host of fun-filled healthy eating workshops for children. More than 4000 chefs from Worldchefs and Nestlé Professional contribute their time and energy each year. The 2017 campaign reached over 37'000 children in 56 countries.
Nestlé Professional has also today announced its 'Chef's Pantry' initiative, for its products and ingredients for out-of-home professionals. The goal is to simplify recipes and use the same ingredients that chefs stock in their own kitchen pantries.
Earlier this year, Nestlé launched Nestlé for Nestlé for Healthier Kids, a global initiative to help 50 million children live healthier lives by 2030. It includes a commitment to accelerate the transformation of Nestlé's food and beverage portfolio worldwide. That includes adding even more fruits, vegetables, fiber-rich grains and micronutrients, as well as continuing to reduce sugars, salt and saturated fats.
