Food-based Dietary Guidelines (FBDGs) promote healthy dietary patterns. Nutrient-based Front-of-Pack Labelling (NBFOPL) schemes rate the ‘healthiness’ of individual foods. This study aimed to investigate whether Australian Health Star Rating (HSR) system aligns with (ADGs). The Mintel Global New Products Database was searched for every new food product displaying a HSR entering marketplace from 27 June 2014 (HSR endorsement) until 30 2017. Foods were categorised as either five group (FFG) or...
The consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with diminished dietary quality and adverse health outcomes. Australian Health Star Rating (HSR) a nutrient-based front-of-pack (FOP) labelling system that assesses the 'healthiness' on scale 0.5 to 5 stars based their content 'risk' 'positive' nutrients. This study aimed analyse use new packaged food products entering marketplace by level processing. Mintel Global New Product Database (GNPD) was searched identify number displayed labels...
Policy makers are increasingly using nutrition classification schemes (NCSs) to assess a food's health potential for informing policy actions. However, there is wide variability among the NCSs implemented and no standard benchmark against which their contrasting assessments can be validated. This study aimed compare agreement of nutrient-, food-, dietary-based in assessment within Australian food supply, examine conceptual underpinnings technical characteristics that explain differences...
Unhealthy diets are a leading risk factor for non-communicable diseases and negatively impact environmental sustainability. Policy actions recommended to address dietary factors, such as restrictions on marketing front-of-pack labelling, informed by nutrition classification schemes (NCSs). Ultra-processed foods associated with adverse population planetary health outcomes, yet the concept is rarely incorporated in policy actions. This study aims develop novel food processing-based scheme...
Abstract Background Food environments on university campuses have an important influence the diets of staff and students. This study aimed to assess healthiness, equitability environmental sustainability Australian food environments, identify priority recommendations for policy practice. Methods We applied previously developed ‘Uni-Food’ tool in nine universities (17 campuses, 165 retail outlets) Australia between 2021 2022. Data three components: (1) ‘university systems governance’; (2)...
Nutrient-based indices are commonly used to assess the health potential of individual foods for nutrition policy actions. This study aimed evaluate nutrient profile-informed Australian Health Star Rating (HSR), against NOVA and an index informed by Dietary Guidelines (ADGs), determine extent alignment. All products displaying HSR label in marketplace between June 2014 2019 were extracted from Mintel Global New Product Database, classified into one four categories, either as ADG five food...
Ultra-processed foods (UPF) are associated with adverse health outcomes. This study aimed to analyse the national trends in retail sales, consumer expenditure and nutritional quality of UPFs Thailand.The used data from Euromonitor Passport database for analysis sales expenditure, Mintel Global New Products Database using WHO Southeast Asian Region nutrient profile model.The found highest per capita volume value 2021 were sauces, dressings & condiments (8.4 kg/capita) carbonated soft drinks...
Dietary risk factors, including excess added sugar intake, are leading contributors to Australia's burden of disease. An objective the Australian Health Star Rating (HSR) system is encourage reformulation packaged foods. Manufacturers may improve a product's HSR by replacing with non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS). Concerns have been raised regarding potential substitution effects ultra-processed foods containing NNS for whole foods, and long-term impact this on population health. The aim study...
Abstract Objective: This study aims to determine whether ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are being discussed in news media Australia and this terminology, as described the NOVA system, is applied accurately. Design: Interpretive content analysis of online print articles that mentioned UPFs from 2009 2023 Australia. Setting: Participants: Online articles. Results: A total two hundred ninety-eight Australian were captured. substantial increase number UPF was observed between 2017–2019 2021–2023....

They nascent nursing service that existed almost half Departments concentrated its activity management minor distal limb trauma wound management. Since date, several relevant important political, professional local issues have combined to accelerate development this...
Introduction This study aimed to assess the nutritional quality of food and beverage products in Thailand by comparing four different classification systems: nutrient profiling-based systems Department Health (DOH), WHO South-East Asia Region (WHO SEA), Healthier Choice Logo (HCL), food-processing-based system, NOVA. Methods used secondary data from Mintel Global New Products Database ( N = 17,414). Food subgroups were classified differently based on these systems. The DOH into three groups:...
