Description
Food companies shape what nations eat, and a 2025 study by Carmen Klinger and co-authors adapts a scorecard to grade them where hunger and obesity strike together. Many poorer countries carry that double burden: undernutrition beside overweight and diet-driven disease.
An existing tool grades firms on their promises and practices around obesity and healthy diets. To make it fit double-burden countries, the team ran a Delphi process, asking experts in rounds to pick the best practice markers worth keeping. Those markers can then benchmark both global and local firms. The authors aim to give watchdogs and governments a fair ruler for holding the industry to account.
