To improve school store food environments, the South Korean government implemented 2 policies restricting unhealthy food sales in school stores. A food-based policy enacted in 2007 restricts specific food sales (soft drinks); and a nutrient-based policy enacted in 2009 restricts energy-dense and nutrient-poor (EDNP) food sales. The purpose of the study was to assess how the 2 policies have changed the school store food environment.
Foods sold in school stores in Seoul, South Korea were observed before (2006, 15 stores) and after (2013, 12 stores) implementation of the school store policies. Food availability in school stores in 2006 and 2013 was compared and EDNP food availability in 2013 was examined.
When controlling the total number of foods sold in school stores and school characteristics, the mean number of soft drinks sold in a school store in 2013 (0.3 items) was significantly lower than in 2006 (1.9 items, p = .032). Soft drinks were still available in 50% of school stores observed in 2013, with all school stores selling EDNP foods in 2013.
South Korean policies have had a modest influence on availability of unhealthy school store foods. Alternative strategies to improve school store food environments are needed.
为改善校内商店的食品环境,韩国政府实施了两项限制校内商店销售不健康食品的政策。2007年颁布的一项基于食品的政策限制了特定食品(软饮料)的销售;2009年颁布的一项基于营养的政策限制了高能量低营养(EDNP)食品的销售。本研究的目的是评估这两项政策如何改变了校内商店的食品环境。
在韩国首尔校内商店实施相关政策之前(2006年,15家商店)和之后(2013年,12家商店),对所售食品进行观察。比较了2006年和2013年校内商店的食品供应情况,并对2013年的EDNP食品供应情况进行了检查。
在校内商店销售的食品总数和学校特征得到控制的情况下,2013年校内商店软饮料的平均销售量(0.3种)显著低于2006年(1.9种,p = 0.032)。2013年观察到的校内商店中有50%仍有软饮料在售,2013年所有校内商店均有EDNP食品销售。
韩国的政策对不健康校内商店食品的供应产生了一定影响。需要采取其他策略来改善校内商店的食品环境。
