Nutrient profiling model was developed by the Food Standards Agency and uses a scoring system which balances the contribution made by beneficial nutrients that are particularly important in children’s diets with components in the food that children should eat less of. It is used by Ofcom as basis for BCAP and CAP codes for broadcast and non-broadcast media restrictions for advertising on food and drink high in fat, salt and sugar to children. The model applies equally to all food and non-alcoholic drink. Department of Health 2011 The Nutrient Profiling Model – Policy Paper
