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.

Disk Of Five Rules

The first step is to find the rules used by DOF. To find these rules, the official 2016 guidelines are used (Bijlage 5). The rules are defined per slice and product groups within a slice.
