WORK IN PROGRESS
Introduction
Can OFF support the dutch Disk of Five (nl)? End November 2019 the dutch government has decided to introduce Nutri-Score in 2021. In the time in between they want to cooperate the international Nutri-Score coordination group to have Nutri-Score adapted to the national Dutch diet advice: the Disk of Five.
The Disk of Five (DOF) (Schijf van Vijf) is a diet advice for healthly eating, which consists of five slices.
- Fruit/Vegetables
- Fats
- Dairy, nuts, fish, legumes, meat, egg
- Bread, wheat products, potatoes
- Beverages
For each slice one or more product categories are defined. On a finer level the amount and regularity of the intake is described. Or the nutritional values or ingredients are taken into account.
This approach is very similar to the definition of a diet within OFF. A diet is defined by a set of rules, which fit the diet. These rules can be an ingredient, a category, a label and a nutritional value. A diet can have multiple levels, which define how well a product adheres to the diet rules.
In principle the DOF diet has one main level: either a product fits or it doesn't. Products outside DOF can be subdived in two groups: daily and weekly choice.
