First seen Feb 23, 2026 · Last updated May 03, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study tests whether a set of healthy food policies—like taxes or warning labels—applied to online grocery and restaurant purchases can help people buy fewer unhealthy, ultra-processed foods. Researchers will enroll 300 adults who are not on SNAP and have moderate incomes. The goal is to see if these policies can reduce calories, sodium, saturated fat, and added sugars from unhealthy foods, which may help prevent chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.
