PFNDAI
has carried out surveys of food intake in the
past. The first one was conducted a few years
ago in the rural places of eight states &
Union Territories along with Food & Nutrition
Board. More recently, urban areas were covered
in many cities in different parts of India.
This survey included the estimate based on the
24 hour recall method.
Surveys are not only conducted to find out whether
the population under study is getting adequate
nutrition or not and may be used for some nutrition
intervention such as fortification etc. It also
provides useful information regarding the daily
intakes of certain food products so some estimate
may be made of the additives or residues taken
in by the population so the limits may be arrived
at for safety purpose.
These surveys also are useful in estimating
the consumption pattern of any particular type
of food or product or ingredients in the diet
of the target population. This gives some useful
data to the industry developing marketing strategy.
