July 19/New York/Reuters -- Nestle has bought a stake in U.S. firm Accera to support the rollout of a medical food brand for Alzheimer's patients, as the world's biggest food group seeks to expand in the health and nutrition business.
Nestle Health Science, set up last year to profit from the growing overlap between food and pharmaceuticals, said it had taken an unspecified stake in Accera, as well as a seat on its board, but declined to disclose financial details.
