For each video, we identified the most prominent food/beverage product featured. We used the Nutrient P…
High-In” front-of-package labeling of foods high in added sugars, sodium, and saturated fat
BACKGROUND: Front-of-package labels (FOPLs) indicating high content of nutrients of concern (i.e., added sugars, sodium, and saturated fat) have the potential to improve consumer understanding of a food's healthfulness. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) tested potential FOPLs, including "High-In" designs. METHODS: Participants (N = 3,931) were randomized to a control "High-In" FOPL with no icon (based on an FDA design) or 1 of 4 "High-In" FO…
Sociodemographic disparities in purchases of fruit drinks with policy relevant front-of-package nutrition claims
Objective: Our objectives were to describe sociodemographic characteristics associated with the purchase of (1) any fruit drinks and (2) fruit drinks with specific front-of-package (FOP) nutrition claims. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: USA Participants: We merged fruit drink purchasing data from 60 712 household-months from 5233 households with children 0–5 years participating in Nielsen Homescan in 2017 with nutrition claims data. We examined…

Identifying institutional capacity to reduce and reallocate food waste is important to reduce both greenhouse gas emissions and food insecurity. The goal of this study was to examine food waste concern, reduction and repurposing strategies, and perceived barriers to these strategies among U.S. university foodservice representatives. We surveyed 57 U.S. university foodservice representatives about foodservice operations, campus food insecurity, fo…

Understanding price incentives to upsize combination meals at large US fast-food restaurants
Objective: To understand price incentives to upsize combination meals at fast-food restaurants by comparing the calories (i.e. kilocalories; 1 kcal = 4·184 kJ) per dollar of default combination meals (as advertised on the menu) with a higher-calorie version (created using realistic consumer additions and portion-size changes). Design: Combination meals (lunch/dinner: n 258, breakfast: n 68, children’s: n 34) and their prices were identified from …
Implementation of a Rooftop Farm Integrated With a Teaching Kitchen and Preventive Food Pantry in a Hospital Setting
Safety-net hospitals serving populations with disproportionately high levels of poverty, food insecurity, and chronic disease can utilize innovative strategies to improve the health and environment of their communities. Boston Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts, constructed an on-site rooftop farm to provide fresh produce for the hospital’s preventive food pantry, teaching kitchen, cafeterias, and inpatient meal services. This novel model ca…
