Abstract in brief

  • The review discusses the ongoing research and development of guidelines for dietary fibre intake in Europe, highlighting the importance of understanding fibre types, sources, and health effects.
  • Despite consistent definitions and analytical methods, actual fibre consumption levels in many countries fall short of recommended amounts, and there is a lack of specific guidance on which types of fibre are most beneficial.
