The role of health‐related claims and health‐related symbols in consumer behaviour: Design and conceptual framework of the CLYMBOL project and initial results
The objective of the European Union‐funded project Role of health‐related CLaims and sYMBOLs in consumer behaviour (CLYMBOL) is to determine how health‐related information provided through claims and symbols, in their context, can affect consumer understanding, purchase and consumption. To do this, a wide range of qualitative and quantitative consumer research methods are being used, including product sampling, sorting studies (i.e. how consumers categorise claims and symbols according to concepts such as familiarity and relevance), cross‐country surveys, eye‐tracking (i.e. what consumers look at and for ...

Stakeholder engagement in food and health innovation research programming – key learnings and policy recommendations from the INPROFOOD project
Abstract
Europe recognises the need for technological innovation along with the importance of bridging the gap between science and society. The European Commission has developed a strategy to foster public engagement and a sustained two‐way dialogue between science and civil society, and has set up a framework for Responsible Research and Innovation. The EU‐funded project INPROFOOD aimed to find new ways to establish dialogue and mutual learning among stakeholders meant to inform subsequent work and future initiatives towards Responsible Research and Innovation. More specifically, INPROFOOD aimed to: (1) increase under...

The importance of food composition data in recipe analysis
Abstract
The estimation of the nutrient content of a food from its ingredients, or recipe analysis, can be a cost‐effective alternative to chemical analysis for a range of applications. For example, recipe analysis is used in menu planning for institutions and special diets, dietary assessment and food composition databases. More recently, it has become important for assessing whether school meals are meeting guidelines, for calculating ‘calories on the menu’ in food service outlets, for nutritional labelling, and in magazines, cookery books and recipe websites. Robust food composition data, such as the recently publ...

The contribution of yogurt to nutrient intakes across the life course
In conclusion, yogurt makes a small but valuable contribution to nutrient intakes in the UK, particularly in young children. Among adolescents, the addition of a low‐fat yogurt would help meet recommended intakes for several micronutrients, particularly calcium and iodine, which are of concern in some teenage diets. Advice to replace some types of snacks and desserts, particularly those high in fat and sugars and low in micronutrients, with a pot of yogurt or similar dairy product may improve the nutrient density of their diet.
