Founded in 1974, the Nutrition Center of the Philippines is a non-profit organization dedicated to addressing malnutrition across the Philippines. Its work spans research, program management, and policy development, with a stated mission to advocate for food and nutrition security as a fundamental right for the country's disadvantaged and vulnerable populations.
The organization operates through partnerships with both government and non-government sectors. Its commercial activities are conducted via a subsidiary, the Philippine Nutri-Foods Corporation, which manufactures and distributes nutritious food products and supplementary micronutrient powders to address community-level nutrition needs.
Operating across the Philippines, the Nutrition Center of the Philippines sits at the intersection of public health, nutrition science, and food manufacturing.
