See the Eatwell Guide published March 2016.
Public Health England (PHE) established an external reference group to consider the potential impact of possible new dietary reference values on the eatwell plate as a result of the recently published draft Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN)’s report on Carbohydrates and Health.
SACN’s draft recommendation is that dietary intakes of sugars should reduce, and fibre increase, from current guidelines. This reference group forms part of PHE’s activities outlined in Sugar reduction – responding to the challenge.
Agenda and terms of reference for the eatwell external reference group
A separate reference group advised on refreshing the 5 A DAY messages and associated logo scheme.
