	tabling member printed	Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick
	uin	HL4175
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2024 answer text <p>The Nutrient Profiling Model (NPM) is a tool that can underpin policy and implements dietary recommendations.</p><p>The United Kingdom NPM was first developed by the Food Standards Agency in 2004 to 2005 (UK 2004/5 NPM). The first Childhood Obesity Plan (2016) committed Public Health England to review the UK 2004/5 NPM and align it to the latest dietary recommendations. A robust and transparent process was undertaken to update the model, with an Independent Expert Group to provide oversight and scientific scrutiny. In 2018, as part of the process, a 12-week public consultation on the modifications made to the current UK 2004/5 NPM took place. The final version will be published in due course.</p><p>Any application of the updated NPM in a policy would be subject to normal policy making and consultation processes and would be accompanied by technical guidance to support its use and implementation. Stakeholders and interested parties would have an opportunity to comment on developing work as part of that process.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 15/05/2024 16:54:19 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham
