The study, which observed this phenomenon on a total of 482 delivery apps that were researched for the purpose, published their findings in the medical journal – Public Health Nutrition. One of the lead authors who helmed the process stated that menu labelling had real-world impact on consumer behaviour, making it easier for people to buy food of lower nutritional quality as a result. As the usage of food delivery apps has risen significantly since the COVID-19 pandemic, the study also noted that menu labelling laws were written for traditional food environments, thus needing to be updated according to the changing scope of how the world eats today.
