  • Examining use of restaurant nutrition information among adults living in England engaged in disordered eating or weight management efforts

    Open AccessAlena Oxenham, Alena F Oxenham et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2026

    Calorie labels on menus are a popular policy initiative to help consumers to reduce their energy intake. Consumers trying to improve their diet may benefit from the labels if they help inform eating decisions. However, it is not well known how some groups, such as those with disordered eating, may view a calorie labelling policy and engage with nutritional labels in England. Using 2021 International Food Policy Study data from 2,898 adults in Eng…
