BRITISH NUTRITION FOUNDATION

Early day motion 168, tabled 23 May 2005 by David Taylor (Labour). Signed by 39 members.

That this House is concerned by the role of the British Nutrition Foundation (BNF) in advising the Government on the food nutrition content of the national curriculum and health matters; acknowledges that the Government contributes to its funds but notes that the BNF is a predominantly industry-supported charity whose members include McDonalds, Coca Cola, Northern Foods, Nutrasweet, Kraft, Cadbury-Schweppes, Kelloggs, Nestlé, Sainsbury, Asda and Procter and calls on the Government to clarify the BNF's relationship with the Food Standards Agency and its role in advising the Department for Education and Skills and the Department of Health on matters such as nutrition classes in school and the course content of qualifications for school caterers.
