In line with the Nordic Council of Ministers´ policy on transparency and in order to receive comments from the scientific community and stakeholders, the proposal for Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2012 has been open for public consultation. This has been done in a stepwise process where the background material and the draft recommendations for different topics were published for public consultation in different batches. A total of six batches were sent out, comprising all the chapters and main subject areas of the NNR2012. This publication brings all the entries received during the hearing.
