Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition

This article is part of the Foodspin project of Spinwatch.

The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) advises Public Health England and other government agencies and departments on nutrition and health related issues.

The SACN advises on:

• Nutrient content of individual foods, and on diet as a whole including the definition of a balanced diet, and the nutritional status of people.
• Nutritional status of people in the UK and how it may be monitored.
• Nutritional issues which affect wider public health policy issues including conditions where nutritional status is one of a number of risk factors (eg cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis and/or obesity).
• Nutrition of vulnerable groups (eg infants and the elderly) and health inequality issues.
