The UK nutrient profiling model (NPM) is a tool that determines what are ‘less healthy’ foods and drinks by calculating the beneficial and less beneficial nutrients in these products and producing a score.
The NPM 2018 is an update of the NPM 2004 to 2005, which was reviewed and consulted on in 2018 in response to changes in dietary recommendations.
Despite being published in January 2026 for reference, NPM 2018 is not yet applied to policy. Its policy application will be consulted on in due course.
