Abstract
High sugar consumption contributes to high energy intake and is linked to unhealthy eating behaviours associated with increased obesity risk in childhood. It is important that parents can understand the nutritional quality of pre-packaged foods targeted at pre-school age children to inform them about healthy choices and nutrients of concern such as sugar. We aimed to assess the nutritional quality, nutrient claims and use of ‘1 of your 5 a day’ logos in pre-packaged foods targeted to young children (1.5-3 years) in the UK market.
