The population groups targeted in other papers are healthy infants and toddlers; adults; older people; and pregnant and breastfeeding women.

This includes nurses, dietitians, doctors, nutritionists, health promoters and educators. The Draft for Consultation has been developed from the update and amalgamation of the Food and Nutrition Guidelines for Healthy Children (Aged 2–12 years): A Background Paper (1997) and the Food and Nutrition Guidelines for Healthy Adolescents: A Background Paper (1998). In recognition of the many influencing factors on the food choice of children and young people, some topics additional to these previous guidelines have been included. For example, new sections outline considerations for selected population subgroups, the influence of environmental factors on food choice, and related topics such as physical activity and oral health.

  • Food and Nutrition Monitoring in New Zealand
    Food and Nutrition Monitoring in New Zealand Public Health Intelligence Occasional Bulletin No 19 Citation: Ministry of Health. 2003. Food and Nutrition Monitoring in New Zealand. Wellington: Ministry of Health. Published in October 2003 by the Ministry of Health PO Box 5013, Wellington, New Zealand ISBN 0-478-25693-0 (Book) ISBN 0-478-25694-9 (Internet) HP 3685 This document is available on the Ministry of Health’s website: http://www.moh.govt.nz Foreword Food and nutrition are major determinants of the health status of New Zealanders. It has been estimated that about 40 percent of deaths in 1997 were attributable to the combined effect of nutrition-related risk factors (including 87 percent of all ischaemic heart disease and 83 percent of all diabetes deaths) (Ministry of Health and The University of Auckland 2003). About 30 percent of the projected two- to three-fold increase in the incidence of diabetes to 2011 will result from the obesity epidemic (the remainder represents demographic trends) (Ministry of Health 2002b). The authors of this report have presented a comprehensive review of the current state of food and nutrition monitoring in New Zealand. Despite good use being made of the existing data sources, monitoring lacks co-ordination and has some important deficiencies. These are addressed in the report. The Ministry of Health has a statutory responsibility to monitor and report on the state of New Zealanders’ health. The monitoring of food and nutrition is a critical component of this process. This report provides a strategic direction both for Public Health Intelligence itself and for the wider sector to improve food and nutrition monitoring over the next two to three years.

  • Report Name: Food and Agricultural Import Regulations and Standards Country Report
    Required Report: Required - Public Distribution Date: November 28,2019 Report Number: NZ2019-0022 Report Name: Food and Agricultural Import Regulations and Standards Country Report Country: New Zealand Post: Wellington Report Category: FAIRS Annual Country Report Prepared By: Brendan Cody Approved By: Levin Flake Report Highlights: New Zealand has strict biosecurity rules for plant and animal products but also imports large volumes of food and beverage products. This report outlines regulatory requirements for food and agricultural products exported to New Zealand. 1 SECTION I. FOOD LAWS The Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) is the key organization that regulates food imported into New Zealand. MPI has the lead role in biosecurity protection to prevent unwanted pests and diseases from being imported and controlling, managing or eradicating pests should they arrive. The Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) is responsible for setting food standards that govern the content and labeling of foods sold in both New Zealand and Australia. These standards also cover food composition, contaminants, and microbiological limits. Under New Zealand’s strict biosecurity rules, unprocessed products cannot be imported into New Zealand unless an Import Health Standard (IHS) has been developed. Import health standards specify the biosecurity requirements that are met for trade to occur. Information on Import Health Standards for specific products can be found here. In March 2015, the New Zealand government approved the Food Act 2014, which came into force on March 1, 2016 and replaced the Food Act 1981. The legislation focuses on food production processes instead of the premises where food is made. A central feature of the new Act is a sliding scale under which businesses that are higher risk from a food safety point of view have to operate under more stringent food safety requirements than lower-risk food businesses.

Food not only is a means of maintaining and improving physical health but has a valued place in our society. It is a catalyst for social interaction and has a significant part in most celebrations. The cultural and psychological functions of food cannot be overemphasised. Over recent years there has been a rapid rise in health conditions for which poor nutrition and inadequate physical activity are key risk factors. This trend is particularly evident in the current obesity epidemic. The Ministry of Health recognises the need for sound, up-to-date technical information to support health professionals, health educators and teachers in the practice of healthy nutrition. This background paper supports three of the key priorities of the New Zealand Health Strategy. It brings together the latest evidence and advice on food and nutrition, physical activity and obesity relevant to the health of adult New Zealanders.
