Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB) recently adopted the Choose Healthy Options Program (CHOP). CHOP uses a simple algorithm that designates a 1 (choose frequently), 2 (moderately), or 3 (infrequently) to foods based on nutrient profiles. Food orders of 402 partner agencies (PAs) in Atlanta and northwest Georgia were analyzed for the 6 weeks prior to and following CHOP implementation. Additionally, 9 PAs participated in in-depth interviews to explain purchasing motivations, impact of CHOP, client feedback mechanisms, and perceptions of clients' needs. Agencies increased their pounds of CHOP 1 foods by nearly 43% during the study period. PAs indicated that CHOP was useful for deciding between food items of the same food category that had differing CHOP rankings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
