Falling through the cracks: How do policies for alcohol marketing apply to zero alcohol products in Australia
Changes in nutrition content and health claims post-implementation of regulation in Australia
Objective: To determine whether there were changes in the prevalence or healthiness of products carrying claims post-implementation of Standard 1.2.7: Nutrition, Health and Related Claims in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. Design: Observational survey of claims on food packages in three categories: non-alcoholic beverages, breakfast cereals and cereal bars. Nutrient profiling was applied to products to determine their eligibility t…
Nutrient composition of Australian fast-food and fast-casual children’s meals available in 2016 and changes in fast-food meals between 2010 and 2016
Objective: A quarter of Australian children are overweight or obese. Research conducted in 2010 found that fast-food children’s meals were energy-dense and nutrient-poor. Since then, menu labelling and self-regulation of marketing have been introduced in Australia. The present study aimed to: (i) investigate the nutrient composition of children’s meals offered at fast-food chains; (ii) compare these with children’s daily requirements and recommen…
How effective is food industry self-substantiation of food–health relationships underpinning health claims on food labels in Australia
Objective The Food Standards Code regulates health claims on Australian food labels. General-level health claims highlight food–health relationships, e.g. ‘contains calcium for strong bones’. Food companies making claims must notify Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) and certify that a systematic literature review (SLR) substantiating the food–health relationship has been conducted. There is no pre- or post-notification assessment of th…
Monitoring the changes to the nutrient composition of fast foods following the introduction of menu labelling in New South Wales, Australia: An observational study
Objective The present study examined the energy (kilojoule) content of Australian fast-food menu items over seven years, before and after introduction of menu board labelling, to determine the impact of the introduction of the legislation. Design Analysis of the median energy contents per serving and per 100g of fast-food menu items. Change in energy content of menu items across the years surveyed and differences in energy content of standard and…
Health and nutrition content claims on Australian fast-food websites
Objective To determine the extent that Australian fast-food websites contain nutrition content and health claims, and whether these claims are compliant with the new provisions of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (‘the Code’). Design Systematic content analysis of all web pages to identify nutrition content and health claims. Nutrition information panels were used to determine whether products with claims met Nutrient Profiling Scori…
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
Exploring perceptions and beliefs about the cost of fruit and vegetables and whether they are barriers to higher consumption
Investigating nutrient profiling and Health Star Ratings on core dairy products in Australia
Objective To determine whether the ratings from the Australian front-of-pack labelling scheme, Health Star Rating (HSR), and the ability to carry health claims using the Nutrient Profiling Scoring Criterion (NPSC) for core dairy products promote foods consistent with the Australian Dietary Guidelines. Design The Australian nutrient profiling model used for assessing eligibility for health claims was compared with the nutrient profiling model unde…
Time to address continued poor vegetable intake in Australia for prevention of chronic disease
Variations in serving sizes of Australian snack foods and confectionery
Investigating fruit and vegetable claims on Australian food packages
Objectives Fruit and vegetable claims on food packages are not regulated under Australian food standards. The present study aimed to: (i) investigate the number and healthiness of products carrying fruit and vegetable claims in Australia; and (ii) compare the nutrition composition of these products with fresh fruit and/or vegetables. Design Content analysis of fruit and vegetable claims on food packages. The Australian food standards nutrient pro…
The effect of energy and traffic light labelling on parent and child fast food selection: A randomised controlled trial
Regulating health claims on food labels using nutrient profiling: What will the proposed standard mean in the Australian supermarket
Objective Proposed Australian regulation of claims on food labels includes requirements for products carrying a health claim to meet nutrient profiling criteria. This would not apply to nutrition content claims. The present study investigated the number and healthiness of products carrying claims and the impact of the proposed regulation. Design Observational survey of claims on food packages across three categories: non-alcoholic beverages, brea…
