The Department continues to evaluate the impact of the out-of-home calorie labelling Regulations, including on people living with eating disorders and will publish a post- implementation review within five years of implementation. This will consider the implementation and effectiveness of the policy and will use various methods such as structured observations, intercept surveys, national survey analysis and qualitative interviews. The Department is commissioning additional research to ensure that the impact of the Regulations on people with lived experience of eating disorders is considered.
