Many existing systems have been developed for regulatory purposes, such as the assessment of the suitability of foods to bear health claims or to be advertised to children, but increasingly profiling is being used to educate consumers via front-of-pack labelling. Most of the existing models have been developed for individual foods in retail settings, not for whole meals available in foodservices. To be effective and justifiable, nutrient profiling models must be science-based, transparent and demonstrate that they are comprehensible and useful to consumers. A case study of a new Heart Foundation Tick programme in Australian foodservices is presented. This paper also reviews existing international profiling systems and discusses some of the issues and challenges for application in meal services, such as compliance with standards, ensuring food safety and credible and effective means of communication.</p>","PeriodicalId":100783,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Foodservice","volume":"20 5","pages":"230-240"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/j.1748-0159.2009.00145.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73279047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has prompted investigations into probiotic benefits for this age group. This paper reviews probiotics in general, with particular focus on the latest research relevant to elderly people, e.g. trials examining functional bowel problems (constipation and irritable bowel syndrome), stimulation of the immune system and improved resistance to winter infections, norovirus, antibiotic-associated diarrhoea and <i>Clostridium difficile</i>. A growing body of research indicates that certain probiotics may help to maintain the health of elderly people, suggesting both health and cost-saving benefits in offering fermented dairy products to patients or residents in hospital wards, as well as nursing and care homes.</p>","PeriodicalId":100783,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Foodservice","volume":"20 5","pages":"250-262"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/j.1748-0159.2009.00147.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90275179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One aspect in particular, the management control system, has a clear potential of being developed to increase the practical impact of the model. Scholars suggest that the management control system aspect works backstage, where matters of computer work, handling statistics, marketing, work organization and dealing with labour law constitute the essence of management control. Management control, however, is widely treated in other fields of research predominantly as a means for influencing behaviour and implementing strategy. The paper discusses the concept of management control and suggests an extended view on the management control system aspect of the FAMM. The upshot is that the management control system aspect could be viewed as a means to influence all the other four aspects through behavioural control of decision-making.</p>","PeriodicalId":100783,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Foodservice","volume":"20 4","pages":"181-188"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/j.1748-0159.2009.00137.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75463552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
