Performance against the USLP global nutrition targets in key countries Please refer to the Sustainable Living section of www.unilever.com for a full description of global progress
HIGHEST NUTRITIONAL STANDARDS We will continually work to improve the taste and nutritional quality of all our products. The majority of our products meet, or are better than, benchmarks based on national nutritional recommendations. Our commitment goes further: by 2020, we will double the proportion of our portfolio that meets the highest nutritional standards, based on globally recognised dietary guidelines. This will help hundreds of millions of people to achieve a healthier diet.

REDUCE SALT Our first milestone was to reduce salt levels to 6g per day by the end of 2010. This required reduction of up to 25%. In 2010, we stated that our ambition was to reduce salt by a further 15-20% on average to meet the target of 5g salt per day. In 2013 we clarified our commitment. By 2020, 75% of our Foods portfolio will meet salt levels to enable intakes of 5g per day.

REDUCE SATURATED FAT In 2010, we had set targets to ensure our leading tubs contained less than 33% saturated fat and at least 15% of the essential fatty acids recommended by international dietary guidelines. By the end of 2012 92% of our leading spreads by volume achieved both of these targets. We want to further improve the fat quality of all our soft vegetable oil spreads that we sell in tubs. By, we will extend our current commitment so that 90% of our complete global portfolio of soft vegetable oil spreads* will contain no more than 33% fat as saturated fat and 67% as good unsaturated fat. However in tropical areas, without chilled distribution, the maximum saturated fat content will be set at 38%, as a slightly higher saturated fat level is required to maintain stability of the spreads. * For all other products in the Spreads portfolio, including our mélanges, we strive for the lowest saturated fat level possible without compromising on product performance and consumer/customer expectations.

REMOVE TRANS FAT By 2012, we will have removed from all our products any trans fats originating from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. By 2012, we had met our target to eliminate trans fat originating from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil from our products worldwide. We undertake regular reviews of our products to ensure we continue to be compliant. If products with trans fat originating from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil are found they are reformulated. *We have published our definition and approach to removing trans fats from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. See: Melnikov S & Zevenbergen H. "Implementation of removing trans fatty acids originating from partially hydrogenated vegetable oils". New Food 2012; 5: 44-46. This approach focuses on main ingredients in our recipes and does not include traces of trans fats from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil that may be found in some flavours or emulsifiers.

REDUCE CALORIES CHILDREN S ICE CREAM By 2014, 100% of our children s ice creams will contain 110 kilocalories or fewer per portion. 60% will meet this level by 2012.

REDUCE CALORIES PACKAGED ICE CREAM By 2015, 80% of our packaged ice cream products will not exceed 250 kilocalories per portion. A portion is defined as: a pre-packed single-serve ice cream product meant to be consumed in one go or 100 ml when sold in packaging aimed at multi-consumption moments such as tubs.

REDUCE SUGAR Prior to 2010 we had already reduced sugar levels in our ready-to-drink teas. By 2020 we will remove an additional 25% sugar in ready-to-drink teas. In 2014 we extended this target to include our powdered ice tea and milk tea products.

HEALTHY EATING INFORMATION Our aim is to provide clear, simple labelling on our products globally to help consumers make choices for a nutritionally-balanced diet. By 2015, we will include full nutritional information on pack, i.e. energy per portion on the front of pack plus eight key nutrients and % Guideline Daily Amounts (GDA) for five nutrients on the back of pack. Our targets will respect local or regional industry agreements as well as the law in each market.
