EU-Menu

Recognizing the importance of nutrition in health promotion, is of the utmost importance to know the food consumption and the nutritional status of the European population, using harmonized methods that will allow comparison between countries.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has promoted the conduction of the Pan-European Survey (EU-Menu) to know "What's in European Menu?", promoting the development and testing of harmonized instruments and protocols for evaluation of food consumption, in European countries.
