Thanks to everyone who’s downloaded our Masterclass in Sustainable Healthy Diets e-book from @NutritionSoc Congress 🌍 . My key takeaway: E-books are a lot more work than you’d think 😅. If you haven’t yet, please download here 🌱.

@amgallagher_UU @TheQuadram Composition data mainly relies on analytical values, varies seasonally, and gap filled datasets an option in future. @FNSCloudEU project making metadata available on 4,600 studies (@Nutritics was used in the DIME part of this study📱💻)

Great question from @amgallagher_UU - when are studies using ‘participants’ and when is it considered citizen science? Citizen science includes an assessment of the participants understanding, and educates (not just data collection) 💭.

+ nutrition + environmental impact. Consumers should have food data information readily available as a standard should they want to see it (and it should be digital).

Allergy details must be mandatory on menus - Food Standards Agency. Totally agree.

Not only was @Nutritics the software used to show food data on 250,000 meals at @COP28_UAE (nutrition, allergens, carbon and water) but I worked on the Sustainable Catering Strategy and spoke at two events! Not bad for an Irish company 🙌🏻 @Independent_ie @IrishTimes @LaoisToday

@Aramark @ReesBNutrition @compassgroupuk @FSAIinfo @ElbhaPurcell @fdouglas1020 @Nutritics Great points being made on different approaches from food service companies (some companies completely removing chips from menus…) 🍟 . Reformulating popular dishes instead of placing a salad beside a burger and making the consumer choose the salad also made 🥗🍔.
