Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN).

Development Board in 1958, the institute was renamed the Food and
Nutrition Research Center (FNRC). In 1975, the Center became known as

What is 10 NGF?

The Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos (NGF) is a set of dietary

guidelines based on the eating pattern, lifestyle, and health status of
Filipinos. The NGF contains all the nutrition messages to healthy living for all
age groups from infants to adults, pregnant and lactating women, and the
elderly.

History:

The first NGF released in 1990 was composed of five messages called
“Dietary Guidelines for Filipinos.” In 2000, a revised nutritional guidelines
composed of ten messages was released and it was called the Nutritional
Guidelines for Filipinos. In 2012, the Technical Working Group (TWG) for the
revision of the NGF, led by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the
Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST) developed a new set of
the NGF, based on the 2000 edition. The 2012 NGF now includes the basis
and justification for each of the ten nutritional and health message.
