Prevalence of food colors use in local and imported pre-packaged foods in Hong Kong
Purpose This study investigated the prevalence of food color utilization in 20,382 pre-packaged foods available for sale in Hong Kong in 2019. Design/methodology/approach Ingredient lists from the 2019 cross-sectional FoodSwitch Hong Kong database were screened to identify the presence of 35 common food colors, based on their name or respective E-number. Descriptive statistics were computed for the prevalence (%) and the number of food colors (to…
Participation in a community-based food cooperative impacts self-reported food security status and dietary intake in Australian adults
Amid rapid inflation, a growing number of Australians are experiencing challenges affording healthy food, impacting dietary behaviours. Community-based food cooperatives are an emerging alternative to mainstream supermarkets for accessing more affordable, healthy foods. This study explored how participation in a community-based food cooperative (Box Divvy) impacted self-reported food insecurity and fruit and vegetable intake among Australian adul…
Sodium content in processed food items in Sweden compared to other countries
Background: Dietary sodium has a dose-response relationship with cardiovascular disease, and sodium intake in Sweden exceeds national and international recommendations. Two thirds of dietary sodium intake comes from processed foods, and adults in Sweden eat more processed foods than any other European country. We hypothesized that sodium content in processed foods is higher in Sweden than in other countries. The aim of this study was to investiga…
Assessing the potential impact of a front-of-pack nutritional rating system on food availability in school canteens
The university should promote health, but not enforce it’
These findings indicate there is some support for environment-centred, population-based approaches to reduce the availability and appeal of sugar-sweetened beverages in an adult environment such as a university setting. However these results suggest that public health may need to focus less on educating populations about the harms associated with sugar-sweetened beverages. Instead, there should be greater emphasis on explaining to populations and…
A comparison of the Health Star Rating system when used for restaurant fast foods and packaged foods
These data support the idea that the HSR system could be extended to Australian fast foods. There are likely to be significant benefits to the community from the use of a single standardised signposting system for healthiness across all fresh, packaged and restaurant foods
Effects of a community-based salt reduction program in a regional Australian population
NCT02105727
Protocol for a cluster-randomised trial to determine the effects of advocacy actions on the salt content of processed foods
