Sodium content of Packaged foods in Uruguay by country of origin
Excessive sodium intake is a major public health concern. Many countries have implemented sodium reduction programs, including voluntary and mandatory reformulation strategies. However, these measures may have significant trade implications, particularly for countries reliant on food imports. This study examines the potential trade impact of sodium reduction policies in Uruguay, a small open economy in South America. For this purpose, the followi…
Public perceptions of front-of-package warning label during policy design and implementation in Uruguay
Political economy of tobacco tax in Bangladesh
Our findings illustrate a complex interplay of political economy factors that challenge the design and implementation of tobacco taxes in Bangladesh. Creating opportunities for consultation and collaboration between the Ministries of Finance and Health regarding the formulation of tobacco taxes will be very important. National action plans with multi-stakeholder involvement are essential to achieving tobacco control goals through actionable steps
Dietary intake of low-income adults in South Africa
Objective: Given the rapidly changing food environment and proliferation of ultra-processed foods (UPF) in South Africa (SA), this study aimed to critically evaluate dietary quality and adequacy of low-income adults using the Nova classification system and WHO and World Cancer Research Fund dietary guidelines. Design: Secondary household data and 1-d 24-h recalls were analysed from two cross-sectional studies conducted in 2017–2018. Foods consume…
Identifying Opportunities for Strategic Policy Design to Address the Double Burden of Malnutrition through Healthier Retail Food
Effective policies that address both the supply and demand dimensions of access to affordable, healthy foods are required for tackling malnutrition in South East Asia. This paper presents the Protocol for the South East Asia Obesogenic Food Environment (SEAOFE) study, which is designed to analyze the retail food environment, consumers' and retailers' perspectives regarding the retail food environment, and existing policies influencing food retail…
Gambling, fast food and alcohol sponsorship in elite sport – perspectives from Australian sporting fans
A number of options were identified for advocates to gain public and political traction to reduce unhealthy commodity sponsorship. There is potential for shifts away from unhealthy sponsorship by both governments and sports associations
Identifying opportunities to strengthen school food environments in the Pacific
Sustained and effective implementation of healthy school food policies requires continued engagement from political and community leaders, beyond initial commitment. There is potential to capitalize on political will for diet-related NCD prevention by more clearly demonstrating the institutional and operational requirements for effective and sustained implementation. Strong incentives for compliance and effective enforcement mechanisms are also l…
The politics of food in the Pacific
Objective: Our study analysed evolving regional commitments on food policy in the Pacific. Our aim was to understand regional priorities and the context of policy development, to identify opportunities for progress. Design: We analysed documentation from a decade of regional meetings in order to map regional policy commitments relevant to healthy diets. We focused on agriculture, education, finance, health, and trade sectors, and Heads of State f…
Alcohol treatment systems in Muslim majority countries
Explaining resistance to regulatory interventions to prevent obesity and improve nutrition
Developing a context-specific nutrient profiling system for food policy in Samoa
The objective of this study was to develop a transparent system for defining ‘less healthy’ foods to underpin effective policy to reduce noncommunicable diseases in Samoa, replacing a fatty-meat ban lifted for accession to the WTO. In the absence of nutrition survey data, we calculated nutrient availability using food acquisition data from Samoa's Household Income and Expenditure Surveys. Together with published literature and local food composit…
An exposé of the realpolitik of trade negotiations
Objective: To explore the formal and informal ways in which different actors involved in shaping trade agreements pursue their interests and understand the interactions with nutrition, in order to improve coherence between trade and nutrition policy goals. Design: The paper draws on empirical evidence from Australian key informant interviews that explore the underlying political dimensions of trade agreements that act as barriers or facilitators …
A healthy, sustainable and safe food system
Objective: There is an urgent need to identify and develop cross-sectoral policies which promote and support a healthy, safe and sustainable food system. To help shape the political agenda, a critical first step is a shared definition of such a system among policy makers across relevant sectors. The aim of the present study was to determine how Australian policy actors define, and contribute to, a healthy, safe and sustainable food system. Design…
Trade and nutrition policy coherence
Objective: Maximising synergies and minimising conflicts (i.e. building policy coherence) between trade and nutrition policy is an important objective. One understudied driver of policy coherence is the alignment in the frames, discourses and values of actors involved in the respective sectors. In the present analysis, we aim to understand how such actors interpret (i.e. ‘frame’) nutrition and the implications for building trade–nutrition policy …

A conceptual framework for investigating the impacts of international trade and investment agreements on noncommunicable disease risk factors
We developed a conceptual framework exploring pathways between trade and investment and noncommunicable disease (NCD) outcomes. Despite increased knowledge of the relevance of social and structural determinants of health, the discourse on NCD prevention has been dominated by individualizing paradigms targeted at lifestyle interventions. We situate individual risk factors, alongside key social determinants of health, as being conditioned and const…
Policy coherence, health and the sustainable development goals
The international community, comprised of national governments, multilateral agencies and civil society organisations, has recently negotiated a set of 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) and 169 targets to replace the Millennium Development Goals, which expired in 2015. For progress in implementing the SDGs, ensuring policy coherence for sustainable development will be essential. We conducted a health impact assessment to identify potential …
Shaping the discourse
The Trans Pacific Partnership agreement (TPP), emblematic of the new generation of free trade agreements, is a regional agreement among 12 Pacific Rim countries. This paper reports on a study into how the food industry has framed issues in an effort to influence the TPP. We undertook a thematic analysis of the issues raised in publicly available submissions by the food industry to the trade negotiating bodies of four TPP countries: Australia, New…
