The Department of Health’s Food Pyramid recommends 3 servings from the ‘milk, yogurt and cheese’ food group each day as part of a healthy, balanced diet.
We are all unique with our own specific dietary needs and preferences but there are key components that form the foundations of all healthy diets. These are outlined in the Department of Health’s dietary guidelines, which are depicted in the Healthy Ireland Food Pyramid. The Food Pyramid is regularly reviewed in line with the latest nutrition research. It is based on international best practice and tailored to meet the specific needs of Ireland’s population.
It categorises foods into six different groups and provides guidelines on the number of servings to be eaten from each food group on a daily basis. It is advised to choose a variety of foods from each of the bottom four shelves every day to get a good range of vitamins and minerals.

The Food Pyramid applies to individuals from the age of five years; younger children start with smaller and fewer servings which should increase up to these guidelines in accordance with the child’s own growth and appetite.
