WORK IN PROGRESS

Can OFF support the dutch Disk of Five (nl)?

End November 2019 the dutch government has decided to introduce Nutri-Score in 2021. In the time in between they want to cooperate the international Nutri-Score coordination group to have Nutri-Score adapted to the national Dutch diet advice: the Disk of Five.

The Disk of Five (DOF) (Schijf van Vijf) is a diet advice for healthly eating, which consists of five slices.

• Fruit/Vegetables
• Fats
• Dairy, nuts, fish, legumes, meat, egg
• Bread, wheat products, potatoes
• Beverages

For each slice one or more product categories are defined. On a finer level the amount and regularity of the intake is described. Or the nutritional values or ingredients are taken into account.

This approach is very similar to the definition of a diet within OFF. A diet is defined by a set of rules, which fit the diet. These rules can be an ingredient, a category, a label and a nutritional value. A diet can have multiple levels, which define how well a product adheres to the diet rules.

In principle the DOF diet has one main level: either a product fits or it doesn't. Products outside DOF can be subdived in two groups: daily and weekly choice.

Bij de beoordeling van een voedingsmiddel wordt in eerste instantie gekeken de voedingsmiddelengroep en eventueel in tweede instantie naar de voedingswaarden. Aangezien OpenFoodFacts voedingsmiddelen categoriseert en beschikt over de voedingswaarden, moet het mogelijk zijn het Schijf van Vijf dieet te ondersteunen.
