To work as a nutritionist in the industry, it is generally required to have a recognised degree or an equivalent qualification in nutrition, dietetics, or a related scientific field.

To find out how to register as a nutritionist, please go to the Association for Nutrition

Nutritionists in Industry Networking Group

The group typically consists of over 150 members from many different organisations across the food, drink, pharmaceutical industry as well as relevant charities. We hold three formal continuous professional development (CPD) meetings per year, featuring presentations by external speakers on relevant subjects, as well as providing an opportunity to discuss general industry matters, such as relevant policy updates and most importantly to network with peers.

There is a contact list available for members who choose to share their details, which serves as a valuable resource for networking or seeking advice from others. This is particularly useful for nutritionists working in smaller groups or independently.

We have established connections with the British Dietetic Association and the Association for Nutrition, both of which many group members are affiliated with. We will continue to build upon these connections for mutual benefit going forward.

The group also focuses on advancing the profession by establishing better connections with training colleges and universities, as well as facilitating more student placements and collaborations.
