Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN)

The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) is an expert group in the UK that advises the government on matters related to nutrition and health. It assesses scientific research on diet, food, and health to provide recommendations aimed at improving public health. SACN's work influences national dietary guidelines and policies, helping to guide people toward healthier eating habits. By evaluating evidence and providing clear guidance, the committee plays a vital role in addressing nutrition-related issues, such as obesity and chronic diseases, ultimately aiming to enhance the nation’s overall health and well-being.
