The Office of Nutrition Policy and Promotion (ONPP) serves as the focal point and authoritative source for public health nutrition and healthy eating policy and promotion in Canada. This session will provide an update on some of the initiatives underway in the Office.
A key responsibility of ONPP is to develop and promote dietary guidance to support the nutritional health and well-being of Canadians. This work includes monitoring and reviewing the evidence underpinning guidance, developing dietary guidance, and supporting the implementation of guidance by others into various applications.
This session will describe aspects of dietary guidance development and the types of evidence used to inform healthy eating recommendations. This will include a discussion on methodology and considerations when developing healthy dietary patterns. An update on the evidence review process being used by Health Canada to gather, assess, and analyze data relevant to dietary guidance will also be provided.
