The recommendations, once finalised, will replace previous SACN recommendations from 1991.
Start of consultation: 26 June 2014
End of consultation: 1 September 2014

Once the consultation is closed, the SACN Carbohydrates Working Group will consider all scientific comments received. A further draft of the report and a table of consultation responses with actions taken will then be discussed and agreed by the SACN main committee at its next meeting on 5 November.
