When to use it
Start here when looking for a country's food-based guidance or preparing a comparison of national approaches. Follow the country information to the issuing organisation and original publication.
Keep a note of the intended population, publication date and language. Those details make a comparison more useful than placing two food models side by side without context.
Read the guidance in context
Our guide to food-based dietary guidelines offers a comparison table and examples from the UK and Switzerland. It helps you separate a public illustration, its supporting recommendations and your interpretation of the material.
