A Profile of Flavourings in Commercial Complementary Foods in South Africa
Research into the sugar content of commercial complementary foods (CCFs) for infants and young children (IYC) has been extensive, but little attention has been given to flavourings in these products. This study aimed to create a profile of the prevalence and type of flavourings in CCFs for IYC in South Africa (SA). Data were collected on CCFs indicated as suitable for introduction from ages 6 to 23 months at 26 physical stores in the Western Cape…
A qualitative analysis of perceptions of various stakeholders on nutrition-sensitive agricultural interventions, including the taxation on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), to improve overall health a…
Overall, perceptions with regard to combining the taxation on SSBs with nutrition-sensitive agricultural policies to improve overall health and nutrition in South Africa were positive.

More research into these combined policy approaches …
What does an enabling environment for infant and young child nutrition look like at implementation level? Perspectives from a multi-stakeholder process in the Breede Valley Sub-District, Western Cape,…

In addition, our findings indicated that a people-centred approach is critical in shaping the enabling environment at this level
Public health nutrition capacity

Design Position paper with task force recommendations based on literature review and joint experience of global nutrition programmes, public health nutrition (PHN) workforce size, organization, and pre-service and in-service training. Setting The review is global but the recommendations …
Liver intake in 24–59-month-old children from an impoverished South African community provides enough vitamin A to meet requirements
Objective To assess the contribution of liver to the vitamin A intake of 24–59-month-old children from an impoverished South African community where liver is frequently consumed and vitamin A deficiency previously shown to be absent. Design Cross-sectional. Setting Northern Cape Province, South Africa. Subjects Children aged 24–59 months ( n 150). Vitamin A intake from liver was assessed using a single 24 h recall and a quantified liver frequency…
