The relationship between voluntary product (re) formulation commitments and changes in the nutritional quality of products offered by the top packaged food and beverage companies in Canada from 2013 to 2017

Laura Vergeer et al.

Summary: The study found that while some of the top 22 packaged food and beverage companies in Canada showed significant improvements in the healthfulness of their products from 2013 to 2017, there was no direct association between voluntary product (re)formulation actions and commitments and improvements in product healthfulness. This suggests a need for stronger industry initiatives or mandatory government interventions to improve the healthfulness of the food supply.

Benchmarking unhealthy food marketing to children and adolescents in Canada: a scoping review

Monique Potvin Kent et al.

Summary: This scoping review aimed to assess the frequency of food marketing and children's exposure to such marketing in Canada. The synthesis of the research suggests that unhealthy food marketing to children and adolescents is extensive and current self-regulatory policies are insufficient in reducing its presence. More research across various media and settings is needed to inform future government policies.

Latest Trends in Investing for Improved Nutrition and Obesity Prevention

Ella Robinson et al.

Summary: This paper summarises the current trends and new developments regarding institutional investor actions related to nutrition and obesity prevention. Recent findings indicate an increase in investor-related activity aimed at improving population diets and achieving global nutrition goals. There is growing civil society and investor activism focused on leveraging investor influence for better nutrition-related actions by food companies. However, existing sustainability-related reporting standards lack comprehensive nutrition-related metrics. Further integration of nutrition within current reporting frameworks and methodological alignment across food industry accountability initiatives would galvanise increased investor action. Mandatory reporting requirements in some jurisdictions are likely to enhance transparency in the food industry and financial institutions.

Big food and the World Health Organization: a qualitative study of industry attempts to influence global-level non-communicable disease policy

Kathrin Lauber et al.

Summary: The study investigates how ultra-processed food industry actors attempt to influence global NCD policy through coalition management, involvement in policy formulation, and information management. Their strategies involve creating alliances, lobbying Member States, and funding favorable research while challenging unfavorable evidence. Guarding against commercial interference is crucial to advancing NCD policy and is similar to the political behavior of the tobacco industry. Increased awareness and safeguards at both the national and global levels can strengthen the work of WHO.

Market strategies used by processed food manufacturers to increase and consolidate their power: a systematic review and document analysis

Benjamin Wood et al.

Summary: This paper systematically reviewed and synthesized the market strategies deployed by dominant processed food manufacturers, categorizing them into six strategic objectives: reducing competition, raising barriers to entry, countering disruptors, increasing control over suppliers and retailers, and leveraging informational power asymmetries. The typological framework has the potential to inform market strategy analyses and identify countervailing public policies to address market-power imbalances and improve population diets.
