The project was an innovative initiative by the Victorian Government to improve the food and beverage supplies available to public health organisations. The review of over 1,700 top-selling products across all sectors was the base for developing an evidence-based framework which highlighted healthier food and drink products as well as other health re-enforcing strategies. The National Nutrition Foundation facilitated the rollout across the state to achieve an improved food procurement system.
Millions of Victorians who rely on and use Victorian public sector settings are impacted by the food and beverage options available. The Victorian Department of Health recognised the need for assessment and classification of products against the Healthy Choices: Food and drink classification guide; building capacity and awareness of distributors to these setting to ensure Victorians are provided healthier options across hospitals, health services, sports and recreation centres, and educational facilities.
National Nutrition Foundation was trusted to deliver this important project, relying on our evidence-based approach to provide healthier alternatives and recommendations.
