Nutrition Guidelines

Dairy foods have long been recognised for their nutrition value. They naturally contain over ten essential nutrients and provide over 60% of the calcium in the Australian diet.

In Australia there are a number of guides developed by the Government in order to help guide Australians in their eating patterns. Calcium and dairy foods are recognised in each of the guidelines. These include:

• Nutrient Reference Values
• The Dietary Guidelines for Australians
• The Australian Guide to Healthy Eating
