Food-based dietary guidelines - Norway

The Nordic nutrition recommendations were developed by a Nordic working group established by the Nordic Council of Ministers; the process was transparent and involved approximately 100 experts. The ‘Food-based dietary guidelines for public health promotion and prevention of chronic diseases - Methodology and scientific evidence’ was drafted by Norwegian experts on nutrition and health; the process leading to the final document included open hearings. The merging of these two documents was done by the Norwegian Directorate of Health, the resulting product being the ‘Norwegian guidelines on diet, nutrition and physical activity, published in 2014’.
