全球对加工食品的依赖日益增加，但食品成分表中有关其营养成分的信息却很少。太平洋岛屿拥有共同的贸易联系，严重依赖进口食品。目标是为太平洋岛屿开发一个关于所售加工食品的营养成分及其来源的数据集。食品标签上的信息，包括原产国、营养成分和促销声明，均记录在标准化数据集中。数据经过清理，根据需要转换为每 100 g 数据，然后检查是否存在异常和记录错误。背景：根据贸易模式选择五个有代表性的国家进行数据收集：斐济、关岛、瑙鲁、新喀里多尼亚和萨摩亚。数据是在首都、自己进口食品的大型商店收集的。主题：商店里的加工食品。记录了 6041 种食品和饮料的数据。确定了 54 个原产国，每个太平洋岛国的主要粮食供应国都是与其政治联系最密切的国家。从不同国家进口的 6% 的食品没有提供营养数据。 132种产品发现标签不准确。超过四分之一的食品包含一些营养或健康相关的声明。食品供应的全球化对太平洋岛屿的饮食产生了相当大的影响。虽然营养标签可以为寻求更健康选择的消费者提供信息，但不良标签和解释仍然存在困难。
There is an increasing reliance on processed foods globally, yet food composition tables include minimal information on their nutrient content. The Pacific Islands share common trade links and are heavily reliant on imported foods. The objective was to develop a dataset for the Pacific Islands on nutrient composition of processed foods sold and their sources. Information on the food labels, including country of origin, nutrient content and promotional claims were recorded into a standardised dataset. Data were cleaned, converted to per 100 g data as needed and then checked for anomalies and recording errors. Setting: Five representative countries were selected for data collection, based on their trading patterns: Fiji, Guam, Nauru, New Caledonia, and Samoa. Data were collected in the capitals, in larger stores which import their own foods. Subjects: Processed foods in stores. The data from 6041 foods and drinks were recorded. Fifty four countries of origin were identified, with the main provider of food for each Pacific Island country being that with which it was most strongly linked politically. Nutrient data were not provided for 6% of the foods, imported from various countries. Inaccurate labels were found on 132 products. Over one-quarter of the foods included some nutrient or health-related claims. The globalisation of the food supply is having considerable impacts on diets in the Pacific Islands. While nutrient labels can be informative for consumers looking for healthier options, difficulties still exist with poor labelling and interpretation can be challenging.
