Nestlé tube feeding range: Overview
- Nestlé launches plant-based tube feeding range with direct connection

Nestlé has announced the launch of a ‘nutritionally complete’ range of plant-based foods, packaged to simplify tube feeding.
Compleat Bolus Blends is designed for bolus feeding, where a measured amount of nutrition is delivered through a feeding tube, several times a day.
And, unlike traditional syringe-based administration, the ready-to-use range features a patented SimpLink cap, designed to connect directly to the patient’s feeding tube.
This, says Nestlé, eliminates the need to transfer the product from its original packaging into a syringe before feeding, helping to reduce spills and unnecessary handling, while making the process easier to manage.
“People who rely on tube feeding, and the caregivers who support them, need nutrition that is complete, safe, and practical for everyday life,” says Serena Aboutboul, head of the Nutrition & Health Strategic Business Unit at Nestlé. “With Compleat Bolus Blends, we want to help reduce the everyday burden of tube feeding by providing the nutrition people need in a format that offers greater flexibility, including when they are away from home.”

The range, which is over 50% fruit and veg, includes plant-based proteins and is available in two age-adapted formulas – one for children aged one year and above, and one for people aged 11 years and above.
Its launch reflects the growing interest in more natural and food-based approaches to tube-fed nutrition.
Patients and caregivers are increasingly seeking products made with recognisable ingredients, while healthcare providers continue to look for solutions that can simplify feeding routines and support quality of life.
Compleat Bolus Blends expands Nestlé’s medical nutrition portfolio, one of the company’s strategic growth platforms.
