The effects of the Food Dudes Programme on children's intake of unhealthy foods at lunchtime

Conclusions: The Food Dudes Programme has a limited effect on decreasing consumption of high-fat and high-sugar foods at lunchtime. Targeting unhealthy food consumption in addition to increasing fruit and vegetable consumption may facilitate this. Restricted access to high-fat and high-sugar foods may also reduce intake; however, this needs to be part of a multi-faceted approach to changing children’s dietary patterns involving the whole school community.
