Corporate Membership

The New Zealand Nutrition Foundation’s corporate membership is open to food companies and other organisations with an interest in nutrition who support our code of ethics, which includes being true to our mission, maintaining our independence and basing all recommendations on sound scientific evidence.

Membership gives your company access to the latest comments and information through this website, our newsletters and via direct contact with the New Zealand Nutrition Foundation at seminars and meetings. You will be supporting an organisation that provides timely and informative health and nutrition facts so New Zealanders can make informed choices. 

By becoming a corporate member of the New Zealand Nutrition Foundation, your organisation will benefit directly and indirectly from the activities of the Foundation:

  • We aim to be the first point of contact for the media when seeking information and opinion on food and nutrition.
  • We provide up-to-date and credible information based on sound science and current dietary recommendations through the media, lobbying and our own publications.  
  • We co-ordinate and support information exchange between professional groups, food producers and marketers, and government agencies.
  • We facilitate education programmes in identified areas of need.

The New Zealand Nutrition Foundation is proud to work alongside its corporate members, offering advice, nutrition information services and undertaking joint events.
