Abstract: BackgroundCountries across Europe have introduced a wide variety of policies to improve nutrition. However, the sheer diversity of interventions represents a potentially bewildering smorgasbord.We aimed to map existing public health nutrition policies, and examine their perceived effectiveness, in order to inform future evidence-based diet strategies.MethodsWe created a public health nutrition policy database for 30 European countries .

“…72,73 Nevertheless, those planning interventions must consider how multiple exposures to food marketing interact and socially construct food attitudes and behaviours in children's everyday settings. The tendency for regulations to focus on the promotional aspects of food marketing 74 without considering the settings where children eat, buy or learn about food may increase the risk of policies that inadequately intercept marketers' plans to reach children. Settings as a component in the proposed Canadian food marketing regulations 17 is valuable if the regulations consider settings not as just promotional marketing channels, but as the places where behaviours are performed or related goods and services are acquired 5 -where children eat, buy and learn about food.…”

“…Despite modest reductions in sugar content in response to the CFBAI updated nutrition guidelines, (Better Business Bureau, 2014a) the sugar content of many advertised cereals remains very high and further efforts to reduce the marketing of SBCs to children are warranted. Internationally, countries (e.g., Norway, Sweden, France, United Kingdom) have already taken steps to reduce children's exposure to food advertising on TV (Bugge, 2016; Lloyd-Williams et al, 2014; World Health Organization, 2013). By demonstrating that exposure to SBC TV advertising was associated with intake of these high-sugar products among preschool-aged children, our results emphasize the public health importance of these efforts in the U.S.…”
