These are foods and beverages that deliver positive nutrition through the inclusion of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy, nuts and seeds or significant amounts of important nutrients, while moderating total fat, saturated fat, sodium and/or added sugar. We also include products that have been specifically formulated to provide a functional benefit, such as addressing the performance needs of athletes.

These are foods and beverages that have levels of total fat, saturated fat, sodium and/or added sugar that are in line with global dietary intake recommendations. Included in this category are products such as baked snacks with lower-fat content and beverages with fewer or no calories and less added sugar than traditional soft drinks.

These pleasurable products are part of PepsiCo's core food and beverage businesses, delighting consumers with great-tasting and convenient foods and drinks, often developed locally to meet local taste preferences.

PepsiCo's business in the Philippines is an example of a PepsiCo market broadening its portfolio of products to offer consumers a wider choice of healthier products. The business has shifted its business model with the development of a bigger portfolio of noncarbonated beverages (Tropicana, Gatorade and Lipton) and Quaker products (i.e., Quaker Ready-To-Eat brands). It has entered new categories through a range of Better-For-You and Good-For-You products that are relevant, affordable and accessible to more Filipino consumers.
By delivering better nutrition through product innovation and consumer education programs, the business has achieved market-leading status in several categories, including number-one positions in sports drinks, value-added water and hot cereals, and number two and three in energy drinks and juice, respectively.
And in doing so, it has achieved incremental volume, channel distribution and improved profitability, positioning the company for long-term sustainable and profitable growth.
