Milo powder

Milo is a popular malted powder product that is widely consumed as a beverage, particularly in Oceania, Asia, and Africa. Originally developed in Australia by Thomas Mayne in 1934, it was created during the Great Depression to ensure children received enough nutrients in their daily diets. The brand has since grown to become a global icon in the beverage industry.

Today, Milo is owned and distributed by Nestlé, a Swiss multinational food and drink conglomerate. While the brand originated in Australia and maintains a significant manufacturing presence there (as evidenced by the 'Made in Australia' mark on the packaging), it is produced in several other countries worldwide, including Malaysia, Singapore, and Nigeria, to meet local demand. Nestlé continues to position Milo as a health-oriented energy drink for children and active individuals.
