Nutrients: Children and Young People

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment the Government has made of the effect of changes to the Nutrient Profile Model on the likely intake of Vitamin D and calcium by children and young adults.

Answer

The Nutrient Profiling Model considers the balance of the ingredients and nutritional content of a food or drink. It does not measure the contribution of foods and drinks to the diet overall. No assessment of vitamin D or calcium intake of children has been made.
