Nido

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

NIDO (also written 'Nido') is a powdered milk supplement manufactured by Nestlé. Although there is no age recommendation[1], marketing is featured around children over 3 years of age with the tagline "Nutritious Milk for Growing Kids". Nido boasts a fortified formula that includes calcium and vitamin D, and is said to contribute to over 20 essential ingredients a growing child needs. Because of this, the nutritionally-enriched product has become not just a competitor for other milk-based drinks, but also faces scrutiny from supporters of natural milk cosumption, including breastfeeders, and is known to be given to one-year-old infants.
The brand NIDO was first launched as a whole milk powder in Switzerland in 1944, and was progressively introduced in other countries thereafter.[2]

Nido is also Friskies' brand for bird and fish food in Spain[3].

[edit] Availability

Nido is available in Mexico, Asia, most of South America and Canada. Nido is also available in some parts of the United States. Usually, Nido is found in most Wal-Marts in the Hispanic Foods aisle.
