Hello –

This week’s CDC Salt e-Update includes new information on the MenuStat database, General Mills’ consumer data on C-store salty snack purchases, and Aldi’s Healthier Checklanes initiative.

MenuStat Now Includes More Restaurants and Nutrition Data

The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene recently announced the MenuStat database has been updated and now includes over 150,000 menu items from 159 restaurant chains from the past 4 years (2012-2015). Users can view and compare menu items, food categories, restaurants, and years, and searches can be refined by categories such as “on kids menu only” or “contains poultry”. Nutrients including sodium may be searched all together or singled out and compared independently. MenuStat is a free database housing nutrition information for foods served by the nation’s largest restaurant chains.

Survey Finds Four Main Groups of C-Store Salty Snack Consumers
According to a poll by General Mills' Convenience & Foodservice Division, 70% of convenience store shoppers report buying salty snacks to improve their mood. Nearly half of shoppers reported eating the snacks within 15 minutes of purchase, and about 68% of C-store purchases were reported as unplanned. The survey polled 3,000 convenience store shoppers between 18 and 54 years of age, and also found that salty snack purchases were segmented into the following four categories:

·Salty Craving

·Healthier

·Bold Substance

·Sweet Craving

Aldi Becomes First Grocery Chain With Healthier Checkout Aisles
Aldi, the discount grocer operating nearly 1,500 stores in the U.S., recently announced that all checkout aisles in all stores will be healthier by the end of 2016. The Healthier Checklanes will offer items with reduced calories, saturated fat, sugars, and sodium, including dried fruit and nuts, and granola bars. Aldi is also making changes throughout the entire store, including expanding fresh and organic meat and produce options, broadening the line of SimplyNature products which are free of many artificial ingredients, and highlighting the nutrition facts of products on the front of the company’s private label food products.
