Nutrition

www.moh.govt.nz/nutrition

The Ministry of Health provides policy advice to the Government on nutrition, including breastfeeding. It ensures that its policies, programmes and health education resources relevant to nutrition have a sound technical basis that is reviewed and updated eg, the Ministry's work on nutrition is integrally linked to the Healthy Eating Healthy Action strategy and implementation, and forms part of the Healthy Eating Healthy Action technical policy base.

The Ministry also collects and maintains food consumption and food composition databases by conducting national nutrition surveys, and funding services to promote healthy eating and physical activity.

Working across Government, with the New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA), NGOs and internationally is also part of our work.

In this section you'll find information on nutrition policy and data, food and nutrition guidelines, and links to useful Health Education resources and information on what the Ministry of Health is doing on issues related to nutrition.
