Nido (brand)

The different varieties include instant dried whole, rather than skimmed or semi-skimmed, milk with Vitamins A & D. Nido is fortified with additional nutrients to those found in milk. Products described on the nestlenido.com Web site include Nido Fortificada (in spanish) (fortified) and a non-fat version, Nido 1+, fortified also with prebiotic fibre for children beyond early babyhood.[1] [2]

Nestlé says that Nido products are not suitable for children of under 1 year of age.[3] Although there is no age recommendation,[4] marketing is featured around children over three years of age with the tagline "Nutritious Milk for Growing Kids".

Nido Fortificada contains: whole milk, soy lecithin, vitamins A (as acetate), C, and D3, iron (as ferric pyrophosphate), and zinc sulfate.

Nido is available in Mexico, Asia (except Indonesia, where this milk is named Dancow), Middle East, most of Africa, most of South America, the UK, and some parts of the United States, particularly New York City. In some regions, the product is sold under the name Nespray.

In Spain, however, the name Nido refers to a bird food sold by Nestlé Purina PetCare.[7]
