NNR2022 chapters: Public consultation

General information

The NNR2022 project will now carry out public consultations on the scientific background material that will inform the dietary reference values (DRVs) and food based dietary guidelines (FBDGs) in the final NNR2022 report. We encourage stakeholders, scientists, and other interested parties to share their insight and feedback on the chapter drafts on the scientific assessment on nutrients and food groups and health outcomes.

The consultation period for each chapter draft will be eight weeks. To subscribe for updates on this page, please fill in your email address at the bottom of the page. You will receive a news alert when a new chapter is available. This public consultation of nutrient and food group chapters will continue throughout the next months, and chapters will be announced continuously when ready.

The hearing responses will be publicly available and carefully considered by the NNR2022 Committee. It should be noted that comments submitted by individuals in a personal capacity will be published as such, indicating the author’s first and family name. Comments submitted on behalf of an organization are also made publicly available and attributed to the organization in question. Comments will not be considered unless submitted via the platform, e.g. comments submitted as emails to the NNR2022 Committee will not be accepted.

All input considered by the NNR2022 Committee as scientifically valid and relevant will be forwarded to the authors for consideration. Please note that sustainability aspects and other issues such as obesity, physical activity, and burden of diseases will be integrated at a later stage, if relevant. The NNR2022 Committee will be responsible for setting the DRVs and FBDGs. The suggestion for setting of DRVs and FBDGs will be open for public consultation at a later stage, before the NNR2022 Committee reach the final conclusion, and are not included in the documents now available for public consultation.

Please note that the background papers on sustainability aspects will be announced for public consultation separately at a later stage. More information about this process will follow later.

How to give input

In a questionnaire you will be able to give both general and specific comments. Please be as specific as possible in your comments and refer to page number and paragraph.

Public consultation of the NNR2023 report

In 2016, The Nordic Council of Ministers took the initiative to update the scientific foundation for national nutrient recommendations and dietary guidelines in Nordic and Baltic countries. The present draft for NNR2023 report is developed according to the project description and describes the science advice to the authorities in the Nordic and Baltic counties.

The scientific foundation of the NNR2023 report is approximately 100 qualified systematic reviews, 9 de novo qualified systematic reviews, and 61 de novo background reviews. All de novo reviews have been peer reviewed and fifty-seven reviews have to date underwent public consultation. While a large number of scientists have contributed to this project by developing de novo reviews, the text in the NNR2023 report is the sole responsibility of the NNR2023 Committee.

The draft NNR2023 report is now submitted for public consultation. While the public consultation is closing May 26th, we encourage interested parties to respond as early as possible, since the NNR2023 Committee will validate all included scientific evidence and calculations continuously up until the date for the final publication in June 21st, 2023.
