Nutrition related information can now be found on the NHS Choices website. Nutrition related publications are no longer available via the FSA publication orderline. Electronic copies have been archived by The National Archives and are available through the UK Government Web Archive. These resources however, have not been updated since October 2010 and will still contain references to the eatwell website, which is no longer available. During 2010, nutrition policy in England was transferred to Department Health and in Wales it was transferred to the Welsh Assembly Government.
