Nestlé has now taken full control of Bistroff, with a view to growing the business in the future, a spokesperson for the Swiss food giant told just-food today (6 March).
“The Bistroff business strengthens Nestlé’s competitive position in the cereal business in Russia and gives the company a platform to leverage its nutrition, health and wellness strategy,” the spokesperson said.
