| Popis: | Highlights • At chain restaurants, purchases are often exceptionally high in calories and sodium. • At quick-service chains, most sugary drink purchases had at least 50 g of sugar. • Most participants at full-service chains purchased more than the daily sodium limit. • Fostering a healthier restaurant environment would promote healthier purchases. To understand how consumer purchases in chain restaurants relate to nutrients of public health concern, sodium, calories and sugary drinks purchased for personal consumption were assessed through a customer intercept receipt study at a sample of New York City quick- and full-service chain restaurants (QSR and FSR) in 2015. The percentages of respondents purchasing ≥2,300 mg sodium, ≥2,000 calories, and a sugary drink, respectively, were 14%, 3% and 32% at QSR, and 56%, 23%, and 22% at FSR. Sodium content of purchases averaged 1,260 mg at QSR and 2,897 mg at FSR and calories averaged 770 at QSR and 1,456 at FSR. 71% of QSR sugary drink purchases contained at least 200 calories. Purchasing patterns that are exceptionally high in sodium and calories, and that include sugary drinks, are common in chain restaurants. Because restaurant-sourced foods are a cornerstone of the American diet, fostering conditions that support healthful purchases is essential to reduce preventable disease and advance health. |
