Nestle is using genetic testing to help customers in Japan supplement or improve their diets with the firms' nutrient-boosted green teas and milk products. Nestle's increasingly popular $600-per-year subscription programme has consumers send photos of their meals through a smartphone app which AI analyses and suggests products to take to round out their meals. Users may also have DNA and blood tests analysed to identify risks from certain conditions and to determine their current health. Kozo Takaoka, head of Nestle's business in Japan, said the programme helps consumers take supplements based on what they're lacking.
