“Nestlé has decided to gradually withdraw the Nutri-Score from its local brands Cailler, Thomy, Leisi, Incarom, Chokito, Henniez, Nestea and Romanette,” it says. This is a decision that“applies only to these brands sold exclusively on the Swiss market”, according to an article on the Vevey-based food giant's website, which was reported by Blick. A Nestlé Switzerland spokesperson confirmed to the AWP news agency that the publication was posted online on Friday.

The company said that“the withdrawal of the Nutri-Score from Nestlé's local brands in Switzerland will be carried out gradually to avoid wasting packaging. It will be carried out brand by brand, from mid-2025 until the end of 2026”.
