Nestle Health Science, a subsidiary of Swiss food giant Nestle, recently announced that it will invest $145 million in Aimmune Therapeutics, a US food allergy research company, to expand its food health.
According to Reuters, the deal will be reached in the form of additional shares, and Nestlé will receive a 15% stake in Aimmune Therapeutics. The two companies will work together to develop special products for consumers with food allergies.
Headquartered in California, Aimmune Therapeutics specializes in developing treatments for food allergies. The global food allergies have a population of 250 million people. The company's treatment plan for peanut allergy is currently undergoing Phase III clinical trials and is expected to be known by the end of next year.
This year, Nestlé Health Sciences has invested in a number of research companies and factories to boost its weak food business.
Nestle Group in January this year announced that it will shift the focus of the health services industry, in June appointed the German company Fresenius Medical Care's former CEO Ulf Mark Schneider as the new CEO, subsequently launched a series of related acquisitions.
Analysts believe that investing in Aimmune Therapeutics is significant for Nestlé's position as the world's largest packaged food company. Kepler Cheuvreux analyst Jon Cox said that Nestlé is very concerned about the allergy food industry, and the company is reluctant to see that its specific packaged foods will have a serious impact on consumers' health.
