Abstract:
Evidence shows calorie posting has positive effects on consumer food choice and
industry/catering practices; however, few studies report the extent to which calorie posting is
implemented as designed. The current study found partial adherence to a calorie posting policy across
Irish public hospitals. Factors influencing implementation were related to the hospital internal and
external environment, features of the calorie posting policy and the implementation process. The
study findings highlight the need for strategies at different levels to maximise adherence to the policy.
