The German Nutrition Society (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ernährung e. V. (DGE)) was founded in 1953. It deals with all questions that arise in the field of nutrition and identifies the need for research. The DGE also supports nutritional research, provides information about new findings and developments and raises awareness through publications and events.
In addition, the DGE carries out quality assurance tasks in communal catering as well as the coordination and quality assurance of the content of nutritional advice and education.
