The Nestlé NANGROW Transparency Tour: From Farm to Factory
Watch Soha Ali Khan and Dr. Nihar Parekh go behind-the-scenes inside the Nestlé NANGROW factory
Nestlé NANGROW factory in Samalkha, Panipat, opened its doors to show the science, precision, and rigorous quality standards that go into every pack.
It Starts at the Source: Clean Farms, Fresh Milk
The journey of Nestlé NANGROW begins with 80,000 farmers across Punjab and Haryana. A dedicated team of over 50 experts, works closely with these farmers to maintain clean farm conditions and ensure the health of the cows.
Quality Parameters at Multiple Steps
From the initial reception of raw materials to the final sealed pouch, Nestlé NANGROW undergoes multiple quality checks. These rigorous standards include:
- Raw Material Integrity: Raw milk is checked for multiple quality parameters, including protein levels, fat content, antibiotic residues, and heavy metals. Other ingredients, such as lactose and vitamin premixes, also undergo additional quality checks before production begins
- Advanced Screening: Packs pass through online metal detectors and X-ray machines to ensure the final product is free of any foreign objects
- Packaging Quality: The packaging material itself undergoes quality checks to ensure its strength and to confirm that no materials migrate into the powder. The packs are filled with food-grade inert gas and tested for oxygen levels to prevent nutrient degradation
- Human Oversight: Even with advanced automation, the Sensory Lab utilizes human judgment to verify the quality of the taste, smell, and texture.
Every pack features a unique batch code that allows for full traceability. This entirely touchless, automated process is designed to ensure the safety and quality of the product, from the raw material to the final glass of milk.
