Abstract

The National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) programme is a joint initiative, established in 1992, between the then Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) and the Department of Health. Responsibility for the programme transferred from MAFF to the Food Standards Agency on the latter's establishment in April 2000.
