Setting the Table Guidance: Nutritional Technical Working Group Report

2. Technical Working Group

2.1 Remit

The remit of the Technical Working Group (TWG) was to:

• Undertake a review of the nutrient, food and drink standards for children aged 1 up to 5 years in the STT guidance.
• Provide evidence-based recommendations for revised nutrient, food and drink standards for children aged 1 up to 5 years in the updated STT guidance, taking into consideration the recommendations from SACN for children aged 1 to 5 years, and any other relevant SACN recommendations.

The primary focus of the TWG was the health and wellbeing of children aged 1 up to 5 years. The recommendations for the nutrient, food and drink standards are based on the consensus view of the current science and evidence base in relation to diet and health.
