Spanish Food Market Study for the Design and Monitoring of Public Health Policies in Nutrition

We offer public institutions the capacity to study the Spanish food market. The studies offered may be useful for:

• Designing effective public health policies on nutrition based on the characteristics of food products available on the Spanish market.
• Assessing compliance with regulations on nutritional labelling and nutrition and health claims, specifically Regulations (EU) No 1169/2011 and 1924/2006.
• Assessing the application of various international criteria (nutrient profiling models, Nutri-Score, etc.) to products available on the Spanish market.

The studies offered are made possible by BADALI, a Food Database developed by our team at Miguel Hernández University. BADALI is the only food nutritional composition database currently available in Spain in which the majority of entries are processed foods.

The publications listed in this offer provide examples of the types of studies that can be carried out using the tool available to us.

Fully operational. The research group has extensive and consolidated experience in carrying out these studies. The BADALI database is active and ready to be used in new consultancy, auditing or research projects for public institutions.

• Public Administrations (Ministry of Consumer Affairs, AESAN, Regional Health Departments).
• Consumer Organisations.
• Nutrition and Public Health Research Institutes.
• Food Quality and Safety Consultancy Firms.
