ABSTRACT:

Objective

To propose nutrition-related corporate reporting metrics for Australian packaged food manufacturers, retailers and quick-service restaurants and explore their feasibility of implementation.

Design

Proposed metrics were developed based on (1) a review of current corporate reporting frameworks and relevant literature to collate nutrition-related recommendations, metrics and principles of best-practice reporting and (2) adaptation of existing recommendations into reporting metrics. Interviews with representatives from fifteen food companies were conducted to understand implementation considerations.

Setting

Australia.

Results

There is a wide range of existing globally applicable nutrition-related recommendations and reporting metrics for food companies.
