Canadian Council of Food and Nutrition

About CCFN

History

The Canadian Council of Food and Nutrition (CCFN) was created out of a union of the mandates of the National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) and the Canadian Food Information Council (CFIC) in 2004.

Working together, NIN and CFIC Board members created a stronger and more viable organizational structure, positioned to provide leadership in advocacy on nutrition policy matters and communication on critical food and nutrition issues within Canada.

CCFN has built on its rich history of over 25 years of evidence based nutrition communication and advocacy work with an additional 6 years in existence, furthering the nutrition agenda in Canada.

CCFN is a national, non-profit organization which acts as a catalyst in advancing the nutritional health and well being of all Canadians by:

Championing evidence-based solutions to key nutritional issues affecting the nutritional health of Canadians
Advocating for evidence-based nutrition policy in Canada
Promoting public understanding of food and nutrition issues.
