Kids Nutrition Report is a London-based research, publishing and consulting company which specialises in researching, analysing and forecasting developments in the business of food, nutrition and health around the world

 

    The strategies and success factors we identified in the 1990s have become the benchmarks for strategy development and brand positioning in the worldwide nutrition business.


    We work with companies all around the world, from the United States to Australia and from Sweden to South Africa.


    New Nutrition Business is headed by executive director Julian Mellentin, one of the world’s very few global specialists in the business of food, nutrition and health.

    He is the editor-in-chief of Kids Nutrition Report and New Nutrition Business , the only industry journal in the world on the rapidly developing kids’ nutritional marketplace.

    Julian is co-author of both The Functional Foods Revolution: Healthy people, healthy profits?, the first-ever book on the business of functional foods, now translated into Japanese, and Commercialising Innovation: The Food & Health Marketing Handbook.

    He is frequently interviewed by the world’s media. Examples include:
