Children need recommendations tailored to their specific needs. Eating habits of 4 - 10 year olds should be taken into account and positive eating habits promoted. An important foundation for later nutritional behaviour is laid in childhood. This is a phase in which eating habits and healthy behaviour are significantly shaped.
The nutritional recommendations for 4 to 10-year-old children are based on the latest scientific findings, have been agreed with experts in the field and contribute to clear and structured nutritional communication in the area of child nutrition. These nutritional recommendations also provide an important basis for the planning, implementation and design of nutrition-related programmes and measures as well as nutrition education and information programmes for the target group of 4 to 10-year-old children.
