A balanced diet is based on individual habits but also implies that the foods available to the consumer have a satisfactory nutritional composition. In order to monitor the quality of the food supply, OQALI (initially the French Observatory of Food Quality), provided for in the 2006-2010 National Programme for Nutrition and Health (PNNS 2), was created in February 2008 by the ministries of agriculture, health and consumer affairs.
