Secondary school canteens in Australia: analysis of canteen menus from a repeated cross-sectional national survey

摘要

Objective: The current study aimed to assess the nutritional quality of Australian secondary school canteen menus. Design: Stratified national samples of schools provided canteenmenus in 2012-2013 and 2018, which were systematically assessed against a 'traffic light' classification system according to the National Healthy School Canteen Guidelines. Items were classified as green (healthiest and recommended to dominate canteen menus), amber (select carefully) or red (lownutritional quality, should not appear on canteen menus), and pricing and promotional strategies were recorded.
