在线送餐服务上的许多菜单项没有显示重要的营养信息。 研究人员表示，目前的nsw菜单标签法应该更新，并对在线送餐服务进行密切监控。 悉尼大学的一项研究调查了澳大利亚主要在线送餐点和应用程序的菜单项目，发现大多数广告中的项目都缺少营养信息，否则这些信息将有助于消费者做出健康的选择。 研究人员表示，研究结果表明，这些信息在网上食品零售平台上基本上没有或提供得很差，菜单标签法需要跟上网上食品配送服务日益增长的需求。 2011年新南威尔士州新的菜单标签计划要求大型快餐店在菜单项目上显示平均能量含量（以千焦计），并在销售点显示参考声明“平均每日能量摄入为8700kj”。 千焦值必须紧挨着菜单上每一项的价格：在商店里，在免下车餐厅，在互联网订购网站上，以及通过邮箱分发。 例如，如果菜单项上的汉堡提供2058kj。 大型食品店的定义是在该州拥有20多家分店或在全国拥有50家分店的特许经营店或连锁店。 这项研究从悉尼10个随机选择的郊区，对43家独特的大型在线送餐店进行了调查。 共对ubebeats、menulog和deliveryoo的482个菜单进行了审查。 在ubebeats、menulog和deliveryoo等第三方在线送餐应用程序上，只有不到6%的食品店菜单上有完整的千焦标签（菜单上的所有项目都有千焦标签）。 研究完成后，deliveroo不再在澳大利亚运营。 同一家特许经营店不同地点的千焦标签以及送货服务类型之间也存在很大的不一致性，无论是公司内部拥有的应用程序（e。 克。 多米诺骨牌）或第三方交付服务（e。 克。 ubebeats）。 据我们所知，目前没有专门涵盖在线食品配送平台的公共卫生政策或营养标签要求。 悉尼大学charlesperkins中心和susanwakil护理与助产学院的首席作者兼博士候选人sisijia表示：“研究结果令人担忧，并突显了一个基本上不受监管的数字环境，年轻人越来越多地使用应用程序购买食品。”。 “在菜单项上显示千焦含量对于帮助人们做出明智的健康选择很重要。 有多项研究表明，菜单标签对现实世界有影响，即获得营养信息的消费者选择的膳食能量含量明显较低，“尽管对送餐服务的需求不断增加，但尚不清楚在线平台对菜单标签的实施情况”，据我们所知，目前还没有专门涵盖在线送餐平台的公共卫生政策或营养标签要求。 关键发现ubebeats、menulog和deliveryoo上的大型食品店只有4家。 8%，5。 3%和3。 分别完成6%的营养标签。 在mymaccas等公司应用程序上，只有35%的大型快餐连锁店有完整的千焦标签。 根据独立的指导方针，中型食品店（在全州有五个以上的分店）超过75%的菜单项可以被归类为“不健康”，尽管根据现行法律，这些菜单项不提供营养信息。 研究结果发表在《公共健康营养学》上。 需要更新nsw菜单标签法，以反映在线送餐的兴起在线送餐服务的使用迅速增长，包括在新冠肺炎大流行期间。 2022年，澳大利亚首都城市五分之二的人使用这些服务，主要用户是千禧一代（出生于1981年至1996年）和z世代（出生于1997年至2012年）。 研究人员表示，目前的nsw菜单标签法是在考虑到传统食品环境的情况下制定的，需要更新。 charles perkins中心和susan wakil护理与助产学院的stephanie partridge博士表示：“在线送餐服务上不一致的千焦标签表明，我们需要迅速而明确地领导nsw菜单标签计划以及未来任何计划如何在在线食品零售平台上应用。”。 之前的一项研究发现，根据澳大利亚饮食指南，超过80%的热门菜单被归类为非必需菜单，这意味着它们的添加盐、饱和脂肪、添加糖或膳食纤维含量低。 研究人员表示，在线送餐也使人们更容易购买营养质量低的食物。 来自孟席斯健康政策与经济中心和查尔斯·珀金斯中心的合著者alicegibson博士说，在澳大利亚，超过35%的儿童饮食是由随意丢弃的垃圾食品组成的，这些食品可能会增加患肥胖症、心血管疾病和2型糖尿病等慢性疾病的风险。 gibson博士说：“2021-2030年国家预防性健康战略的目标之一是改善健康饮食的获取和消费。”。 “送餐服务是一种满足消费者需求的便捷服务。 我们获取食物的方式已经变得更加“数字化”——公共卫生营养政策需要跟上。 声明：研究人员声明没有利益冲突。 本文借鉴了悉尼大学前硕士生索菲亚•卡萨诺和安娜•贾的研究成果。 本文借鉴了悉尼大学前硕士生索菲亚•卡萨诺和安娜•贾的研究成果。
many menu items on online food delivery services do not display important nutritional information. researchers say current nsw menu labelling laws should be updated and monitored closely on online food delivery services.a university of sydney study investigating menu items on major online food delivery outlets and applications (apps) in australia has found most advertised items are missing nutritional information that would otherwise help consumers make healthy choices. researchers say the findings show this information is largely absent or poorly provided on online food retail platforms and menu labelling laws need to keep up with increasing demand of online food delivery services.the 2011 new south wales menu labelling scheme require large fast-food outlets to display both the average energy content (as kilojoules) on menu items and the reference statement ‘the average daily energy intake is 8700 kj’ at point of sale. the kilojoule value must be next to the price of each item on menus: in store, at drive throughs, on internet ordering sites, and distributed via letterboxes. for example, if a burger on a menu item provides 2058 kj. the definition of large food outlets are franchises or chains with more than 20 locations in the state or 50 locations nationally. from 10 randomly selected suburbs across sydney, the study reviewed 43 unique large food outlets on online food delivery services. a total of 482 menus from ubereats, menulog and deliveroo were reviewed.less than 6 percent of menus of food outlets on third party online food delivery applications (apps) such as ubereats, menulog and deliveroo had complete kilojoule labelling (where all items on the menu had kilojoule labelling). since the study, deliveroo no longer operates in australia. there were also large inconsistencies in kilojoule labeling between different locations for the same franchise store and between the type of delivery service, whether it was in house company owned apps (e.g. dominos) or third-party delivery services (e.g. ubereats). to our knowledge, there are currently no public health policies or nutritional labelling requirements that specifically cover online food delivery platforms.sisi jia, lead author and phd candidate“the results are concerning and highlight the largely unregulated digital environment where young people increasingly use apps to make food purchases,” says lead author and phd candidate sisi jia, from the charles perkins centre and susan wakil school of nursing and midwifery at the university of sydney. “displaying the kilojoule content on a menu item is important to help people make informed health choices. there are multiple studies that show menu labelling having real-world impact – that consumers who were provided with nutritional information selected meals with significantly lower energy content,“although there is increasing demand of food delivery services, it is unknown how well menu labelling is implemented by online platforms,“to our knowledge, there are currently no public health policies or nutritional labelling requirements that specifically cover online food delivery platforms.”key findingslarge food outlets on ubereats, menulog and deliveroo were found to have only 4.8 percent, 5.3 percent and 3.6 percent complete nutritional labeling respectively. only 35 percent of large fast-food franchise outlets on company apps such as mymaccas had complete kilojoule labelling. over 75 percent of menu items from mid-sized food outlets (that had more than five locations across the state) could be classified as ‘unhealthy’ under independent guidelines although exempt from providing nutritional information under current laws. the findings were published in public health nutrition. nsw menu labelling laws need to be updated to reflect rise of online food delivery use of online food delivery serves has grown rapidly, including during the covid-19 pandemic. in 2022, two-fifths of people in australian capital cities were using those services and the primary users were millennials (born between 1981 and 1996) and gen z (born between 1997 and 2012).the researchers say current nsw menu labelling laws were written with traditional food environments in mind and need to be updated. “the inconsistent kilojoule labelling on online food delivery services, shows we need swift and clear leadership on how the nsw menu labelling scheme and any future schemes are applied on online food retail platforms,” says dr stephanie partridge from the charles perkins centre and susan wakil school of nursing and midwifery. a previous study found over 80 percent of popular menu items advertised were classified as discretionary, meaning they are high in added salt, saturated fat, added sugar or low in dietary fibre according to the australian dietary guidelines. online food delivery is also making it easier for people to buy food of low nutritional quality, says the researchers.co-author dr alice gibson from the menzies centre for health policy and economics and the charles perkins centre said over 35 percent of children’s diets in australia are comprised of discretionary junk foods which may increase risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.“one of the aims of the 2021-2030 national preventive health strategy is to improve access to and the consumption of a healthy diet,” says dr gibson. “food delivery services are a convenient service in response to consumer demand. the way we access food has become more ‘digital’ – public health nutrition policies need to keep up.”declaration: the researchers declare no conflicts of interest. the article draws on research by former university of sydney masters students sophia cassano and anna jia. .
