Our new brief on Dairy products is out. 

Dairy products include milk and most milk-derived products, such as yoghurt and cheese. These contain protein, calcium, vitamin B12, vitamin B2 (riboflavin), and iodine. Dairy products are also major contributors to saturated fat, salt, and sugars intake in the EU.

Find out more about the nutritional value of dairy products, labelling in the EU, the effects on health of dairy intake, and intake recommendations and levels in the EU. Learn about the disease burden linked to diets low in milk and about policy recommendations to address dairy intake. Finally, have a look at some examples of implemented policies related to dairy intake.
