Summary
This preprint study investigates how calorie labelling on online food delivery menus changed following England's mandatory calorie labelling regulations, which came into force in April 2022 for large out-of-home food businesses. Using an audit or observational approach, the authors likely tracked changes in labelling provision across digital food ordering platforms. The findings are expected to offer evidence on policy compliance and the reach of labelling interventions in the rapidly growing online food delivery sector.
UK applicability
This study is directly applicable to UK policy and public health practice, providing evidence on the real-world implementation of England's out-of-home calorie labelling policy and informing future regulatory assessment and potential extension of requirements.
Key measures
Proportion of menu items displaying calorie information; compliance rates before and after regulation; variation by business type or platform
Outcomes reported
The study examined changes in the provision of calorie labelling on menus for online food delivery platforms following the introduction of mandatory calorie labelling regulations in England. It likely assessed the extent to which businesses complied with or voluntarily adopted labelling requirements post-regulation.
