Amongst these potential interventions, food-based approaches such as General Food Distributions (GFD) and Blanket Supplementary Feeding Programmes (BSFP) predominate.
However, since attitude toward label claims varies by the type of educational intervention, food processors and researchers should take further steps in designing more effective ways to mediate the information regarding label claims.
During the intervention, food intake was calculated by subtracting the left-over food from what was added the previous day, and weight was recorded weekly.
During the intervention, food intake was calculated daily by subtracting the leftover food from what was added the previous day, while body weight was recorded.
Prior to intervention, food intake averaged 12.7 ± 1.4 MJ/day, consisting of 41.2 ± 1.5% energy from carbohydrate, 33.4 ± 1.5% from fat and 21.9 ± 0.8% from protein.
The intervention study design and intervention protocol, which also provides information about pre-, mid-, and post-intervention food consumption and dietary compliance, have been described in detail by Shaw et al. [ 56].
67 While usually being a national-level intervention, food fortification is highly entrenched in the politics of global food regulations, whose political agenda may be constructed by a complex interaction of public and private interests.
3 In practice, research agents (e.g. researchers, funders) have supplied participants and their host communities with various benefits that are more or less related to health, including the trial intervention, food, and new healthcare or school buildings.
