Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition

The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) is a group of experts in nutrition and health that provides independent advice to the UK government. They review scientific evidence on diet, vitamins, minerals, and overall nutrition to help develop guidelines and policies that promote public health. Their recommendations influence national dietary advice, food fortification, and health strategies, aiming to improve the nutritional well-being of the population. Essentially, SACN ensures that nutritional policies are based on the latest scientific research to support healthier living for everyone.
