Food Based Dietary Guidelines
●Developed from 1998 through joint FAO/WHO expert consultation
●Implementation started in 2004
●Based on National Food Consumption Survey (NFCS) (1999)
●Corresponds with South African Demographic and Health Survey (SADHS) (1998)

Food Based Dietary Guidelines
●Qualitative statements that express dietary goals in terms of foods
●Represent the best consensus of scientific knowledge and public health advice currently available
●Based on the relationship between diet and disease
●Can be used as educational tools for promoting the importance of nutrition to combat the growing double burden of malnutrition

Food Based Dietary Guidelines
The FBDG’s are the result of a wide consultative process throughout the country, in line with the recommendations of the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO)
Eleven guidelines where
formulated for healthy
eating for South Africans
older than 7 years

Staple foods of South Africa
Cooked white maize porridge, sugar, tea, whole milk and brown bread – 5 most often consumed
(NFCS, 2000)
Cereal flours contribute between 50-75% of energy intake of populations in sub-Saharan Africa…
and milling refinement of wheat or maize removes about two-thirds of the vitamins and minerals

Food Coping Strategies
1. Eat less preferred food
2. Borrow food
3. Buy food on credit
4. Gather wild food
5. Consume seed stock
6. Send members to eat elsewhere
7. Send members to beg
8. Limit portion size
9. Restrict consumption in favour of children
10. Feeding working members at the expense of non-working members
11. Ration money to buy ready to eat food
12. Skip the entire day without meals

View on Africa
Africa is the only continent where the nutrition situation has deteriorated in recent decades
• 206 million people in Africa are iron deficient• 86 million are affected by iodine deficiency• 31 million are deficient in vitamin A
It emphasize slow pace of progress in intervention efforts against micro-nutrient deficiencies in Africa (FAO and WHO)
![Page 27: Nicollettes Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070318/557b2abed8b42a71798b5427/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
●Population of 46 million people of which 79% are black Africans
●Majority of South African households live in poverty with a limited variety of foods (mainly staples) available in the home
●30.9 % preschool children stunted●56.2% of the adult population was recorded
overweight or obese (Demographic and Health Survey, 2003),
●highest prevalence of obesity in females●Double burden of disease within same household -
due to rapid urbanization and acculturation
At a glance: South Africa is a developing country

Food inflation in South Africa - Nutrition implications
●Future Implications:– Already nutrition dilemma with low vit A, Fe, prot and kJ intake –
with decrease in portion sizes = continual decrease– Fortification programs not calculated based on such low
consumption values– Households could, due to inflation, move significantly closer to
FAO “Hunger threshold” of 1 260kJ/day– High risk of food diversity declining even more
●Future Priorities– Planning for adequate staple foods at affordable prices– Possibility of Government Food stamps
![Page 33: Nicollettes Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070318/557b2abed8b42a71798b5427/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Parallel activities
●Nutrition Communication Initiative by the Consumer Goods Council of SAResponse to the publication of the new draft regulation for food
labeling and advertising by the DoH. Highlighted the need to build greater capacity in the field of nutrition and to play an active role in the provision of nutrition education to South African consumers
–Agreed that Food Based Dietary Guidelines form the basis
–Development of a Food Guide as a 1st step
