Data describing where foods were obtained were used to identify store-bought and restaurant-prepared foods. Combination codes were used to group foods, such as separate salad ingredients, which were eaten together. Foods in their as-eaten form were then classified into WWEIA food categories and subgroups corresponding to FDA targets. Sample-weighted estimates generated by SUDAAN analyses were used to calculate projected sodium intake reductions.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Store-bought, restaurant-prepared, and other foods contributed 62%, 26%, and 12%, respectively, of sodium in United States diets.

Subgroups of these categories contributing the most sodium included store-bought lunchmeat sandwiches and hotdogs, restaurant-prepared burgers, store-bought and restaurant-prepared tacos/burritos, restaurant-prepared pizza with meat, and store-bought white/wheat bread. Meeting the FDA targets for these subgroups achieved the highest projected sodium intake reductions.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Reductions of sodium in widely consumed foods, such as luncheon-meat sandwiches and restaurant-prepared pizza, have the greatest impact on reducing sodium intake by the United States population.

Discussion points, expert opinions, national nutrition data, and relevant literature, addressing protein intake and quality, their impact on human health, and various technologies for future foods production, have been included. Despite increased protein supply in SEA, protein requirements, particularly during crucial life stages, are often unmet owing to insufficient focus on protein quality. Factoring in amino acids content and bioaccessibility are crucial for assessing nutritional requirement and sustainability evaluations, rather than solely relying on protein quantity alone. Different food sources of protein also have different key conutrients for health relevance such as vitamin B-12 and ω-3 fatty acids. Innovations in food structure, processing, and technology are key to developing nutritious, sustainable, and appealing future foods, including from complementary and alternative protein sources, while considering safety aspects, especially allergenicity. Addressing protein needs in SEA requires a dual focus on protein quantity and quality, underlining the role of public health policies and guidelines that consider key nutritional differences of animal-source and plant-based proteins. To address regional demands, future food innovations should aim at creating unique yet needful food categories or supplementing current existing sources, rather than mimicking current products.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10756,"journal":{"name":"Current Developments in Nutrition","volume":"8 10","pages":"Article 104443"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142427108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As more countries establish school meal programs to provide critical nourishment to students, establishing standards for the foods served can increase the consumption of key nutrients and limit the consumption of foods that do not build health. This global scoping review explores the prevalence and basic characteristics of national policies that regulate food served through school meals across 193 countries, particularly by restricting the provision of categories, nutrients, or ingredients of nutritional concern. We gathered evidence from policy databases, grey literature, peer-reviewed literature, and primary policy documents. We included nationally mandated policies that included restrictions on categories, nutrients, or ingredients of concern served in school meals. Policies that were sub-national, voluntary, and/or did not include restrictive language were excluded from this review. Data was collected in research electronic data capture then extracted into Microsoft Excel and analyzed for policy frequency, prevalence by world region or country income group, and prevalence of certain policy characteristics. Globally, only 15% of countries were found to have a national-level policy restricting foods served through school meals in some capacity, including either nutritional or categorical restrictions. The majority of these policies were found in high-income countries, and no low-income countries had a policy meeting inclusion criteria. Policies in Latin-American and Caribbean countries limited the content of more nutrients of concern than in other regions. Although many policies included explicit guidelines to monitor implementation, few outlined mechanisms for policy enforcement. Future research should evaluate the impact of various school meal regulatory approaches, including implementation of similar policies at sub-national levels, and other elements that affect the impact of school meal programs, such as procurement, infrastructure, costs to school and to students and their families, and acceptability and consumption of foods provided.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10756,"journal":{"name":"Current Developments in Nutrition","volume":"8 10","pages":"Article 104456"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142427107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
