Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

Dietary guidelines are essential for dieticians and health professionals, who give dietary advice to those with health issues related to their current diet. These guidelines need to be updated from time to time based on sound science, so that the professionals can be confident that their advice is evidence-based. Furthermore, dietary guidelines should be practical and must be written in plain language, in order to avoid misinterpretation. 

Another important point is that dietary guidelines should meet the specific needs of their target population. For example, infants, children, and pregnant or lactating women are populations with special needs. To develop effective dietary guidelines, attention should be paid to these special needs. 

Therefore, guideline development is more than just grading systemically collected evidence. We appreciate papers that provide evidence for recently revised or developed dietary guidelines, together with the introduction of the guideline itself, for example, how it is implemented, and the setting in which it is used.

School meals for grade 1 to 4 pupils in Latvia are financed by the government, but with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, and following the remote learning process, there were problems related to the delivery of these meals for pupils. The current situation in Latvia has been exacerbated again due to the spread of the pandemic; there is a great necessity to find well-thought-out solutions to ensure school lunches outside the school. The aim of this study was to develop recommendation-based one-week food packs for grade 1 to 4 pupils, providing the necessary amount of nutrients and energy. Four food packs were designed to provide five-day lunch meals for pupils, preparing a warm lunch at home. Protein, fat, saturated fatty acids, carbohydrates, sugar, dietary fiber, sodium, salt and calcium content of meals were analyzed according to standard methods. During the project, the most appropriate solution for food packs was explored. The four designed food packs will provide support to municipalities, because the composition of food packs complies with the nutrition and energy value regulation and does not exceed the planned budget. Parents will receive the developed recipe book in addition to a one-week food pack. Full article
