Meet our Nutritionists
Dr Marianne Walsh
NDC Nutrition Manager
As the National Dairy Council’s portfolio is largely driven by health promotion and nutrition, two full-time nutritionists are employed to ensure that all content is evidence based and relevant.
The NDC nutritionists work on a wide range of nutrition areas including:
- The monitoring and evaluation of all scientific research that drives the NDC marketing campaigns
- Ensuring that all content for the consumer is compliant with EU Nutrition & Health Claim legislation (Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006)
- The commissioning of independent academic research to strengthen the knowledge base of dairy nutrition
- Working with professional bodies in continuous professional development (CPD) for health care professionals
- Health promotion to consumers across the life-stages via events and literature
- Media monitoring and media engagement (print, radio and TV)
- Clarification on misconceptions about dairy
