Summary F ood4 M e is a 4‐year multi‐partner project under the E uropean U nion S eventh F ramework Programme ( FP 7), investigating the potential of, and public attitudes towards, personalised nutrition. F ood4 M e has gathered an international group of experts to survey the current understanding of personalised nutrition and to explore the application of individualised nutrition advice. The F ood4 M e project will also investigate consumer attitudes and produce new scientific tools for implementation. The project, which started in 2011, expects among its outcomes and achievements a comprehensive assessment of the opportunities and challenges for future personalised nutrition business models; new scientific tools that use dietary, genetic and phenotypic data for personalised nutrition; and a validation of the impact of different levels of personalised nutrition advice to consumers, be they dietary, phenotypic or genetic. It will also report on the attitudes and beliefs of E uropean consumers to all aspects of personalised nutrition, describe the ethical and legal implications, as well as produce best practice guidelines for communicating information on the issue. This will be the first study of its kind in the world, designed to mimic a fully internet‐delivered, personalised nutrition service.
