No, Nestlé does not use animal testing to develop conventional foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, cereal and chocolate. However, national authorities require new food products and ingredients to be safe for human consumption, and in certain cases it is necessary to carry out animal tests to demonstrate this.

We can assure you that we use animal testing as little as possible, and that our care of animals always complies with the highest standards. Animal testing should only take place where absolutely necessary, as part of the regulatory process to commercialize a product, or as part of the development of novel food products, such as those with healthcare benefits.
