Conflicted interests of the week: the Dairy Council and nutrition scientists foodpolitics.com/2022/09/25451/

Since 2018, #calorie labeling of prepared foods has been required in food retail establishments (became law with 2010 ACA). Our team has been evaluating the effect of this law in restaurants & supermarkets, funded by Lee Burns. What have we found so far? A thread, 1/14

This type of shortsighted policy review has reared its head again. Health is an *asset* & the types of obesity policies being looked at here are exactly the ones that are both most effective AND most likely to narrow inequalities. 🧵 theguardian.com/politics/2022/…

JRC conclusion: 'FOPNL has the potential to guide consumers towards healthier diets.. Simpler, evaluative, colour-coded labels [hello Nutri-Score] seem better suited in meeting consumers’ information needs in a busy shopping context.'

Health equity could take many shapes and forms. Simone Pettigrew Hercberg Serge Chantal Julia suggest that changing the way we label our food to make it more accessible could create “an equitable and useful nutrition intervention,” via nature: nature.com/articles/s4143…

In a new study in Greece, #Nutriscore showed good capacity to inform consumers toward better food choices in line with the national guidelines. And a potential to guide consumers and manufacturers toward less energy dense and more nutrient dense options frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Juliane Barboni Véronique Trillet-Lenoir 🇪🇺🇫🇷💙💛 Roser Domenech Pekka Pesonen … absence remarquable des consommateurs alors qu’ils sont pourtant concernés au premier chef. D’ailleurs voici ce qu’en pense le The Consumer Voice : beuc.eu/sites/default/…

So the dairy industry is funding a manga in which the hero is conveyed superpowers by consuming...milk Another way for industry to influence perceptions, targeting youth

Excellent analysis of how the food industry works. Studies funded by large food and beverage companies may be up to 5 times more likely to report findings sympathetic to business interests. See rdcu.be/cZu3L

1/2. A new study performed by greek academic scientists show that #NutriScore aligns with the Mediterranean diet pyramid (both the 1995 traditional and 2020 sustainable MD pyramids) and that it successfully separates foods at the two ends of the pyramid mdpi.com/1979864

Maria Joao Gregorio emphasizing that self regulation really does not work to protect children from unhealthy food marketing and outlines the comprehensive goverment regulations that are really urgently needed @CSS_HGR @SanteBelgique

2% of energy per portion? Well that sounds reasonable. Until you realise that Ferrero have decided that a portion is *one* sweet. Good luck telling the kids that packet has to last them the whole festive season… % of the product = fat and sugar? 89%! Not so reasonable…

🔥 Major new The Lancet Global Health paper out today! #NCD policy implementation from 2014-21 Examining implementation of 19 NCD policies endorsed by all WHO member states Open access here: thelancet.com/journals/langl… Top 5 messages 🧵... 1) Implementation progress stalled in 2021 at 47·8%

EUPHA urges the Commission to implement a harmonised, EU-wide, mandatory, effective front-of-pack nutrition labelling scheme urgently. The current evidence-base identifies Nutri-Score as the preferred option. Read our full statement here: eupha.org/repository/adv…

Representing ~40,000 public health professionals across Europe, fantastic to see EUPHA coming out in favour of Nutri-Score for the future EU FOPNL. No scheme is perfect but NS is simple, effective, well understood by consumers and extensively validated.
