Sodium content in processed food items in Sweden compared to other countries: A cross-sectional multinational study
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…
The development of a method for the global health community to assess the proportion of food and beverage companies’ sales that are derived from unhealthy foods
CONTEXT: Corporate engagement with food and beverage companies who produce food associated with health harms is a divisive topic in the global nutrition community, with high-profile cases of conflict of interest increasingly coming under scrutiny. There is a need for an agreed method to support health organizations in deciding whether and how to engage with large food and beverage manufacturers. AIM: The aim of this study was to develop a method …
Nutrient profile of 23 596 packaged supermarket foods and non-alcoholic beverages in Australia and New Zealand
Objective To compare the nutrient profile of packaged supermarket food products available in Australia and New Zealand. Eligibility to carry health claims and relationship between nutrient profile score and nutritional content were also evaluated. Design Nutritional composition data were collected in six major Australian and New Zealand supermarkets in 2012. Mean Food Standards Australia New Zealand Nutrient Profiling Scoring Criterion (NPSC) sco…
Package size and manufacturer-recommended serving size of sweet beverages: A cross-sectional study across four high-income countries
Objective To assess the mean package size and manufacturer-recommended serving size of sweet beverages available in four high-income countries: Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and New Zealand. Design Cross-sectional surveys. Setting The two largest supermarket chains of each country in 2012/2013. Subjects Individual pack size (IPS) drinks ( n 891) and bulk pack size (BPS) drinks ( n 1904). Results For all IPS drinks, the mean package size was …

Protocol for a cluster-randomised trial to determine the effects of advocacy actions on the salt content of processed foods
ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02373423. 26/02/2015
Variability in the reported energy, total fat and saturated fat contents in fast-food products across ten countries
Objective Fast foods are often energy dense and offered in large serving sizes. Observational data have linked the consumption of fast foods to an increased risk of obesity and related diseases. Design We surveyed the reported energy, total fat and saturated fat contents, and serving sizes, of fast-food items from five major chains across ten countries, comparing product categories as well as specific food items available in most countries. Setti…

Cost-effectiveness of reducing salt intake in the Pacific Islands: Protocol for a before and after intervention study
Salt reduction is a global priority and all Member States of the World Health Organization have agreed on a target to reduce salt intake by 30% by 2025, as part of the global action plan to reduce the burden of non-communicable diseases. The study described by this protocol will be the first to provide a robust assessment of salt intake and the impact of salt reduction interventions in the Pacific Islands. As such, it will inform the development …
Drop the Salt! Assessing the impact of a public health advocacy strategy on Australian government policy on salt
Objective In 2007 the Australian Division of World Action on Salt and Health (AWASH) launched a campaign to encourage the Australian government to take action to reduce population salt intake. The objective of the present research was to assess the impact of the Drop the Salt! campaign on government policy. Design A review of government activities related to salt reduction was conducted and an advocacy strategy implemented to increase government …
The Australian Food and Health Dialogue – the implications of the sodium recommendation for pasta sauces
Objective To assess the change in Na content of Australian pasta sauces between 2008 and 2011. A secondary objective was to project the mean Na content of these same products in 2014 using the Australian Food and Health Dialogue Na commitment and compare projections with the 2012 UK Na target for pasta sauce. Design Na data were collected from the product labels of pasta sauce products. Mean Na content was calculated for 2008 and 2011 and change …
