Abstract

Objective

To examine the extent of nutrition-related claims on ready-to-drink (RTD) alcohol products to provide insights into the types and prevalence of claims across the category.

Methods

Product type, alcohol content, and presence/type of nutrition-related claims (n=491) information was collected, March-May 2022. Chi-square analyses with pairwise z-tests were used to identify differences in claim prevalence by product type. Spearman’s correlation was used to assess the relationship between alcohol content and number of claims.

Results

Approximately half (52%) of RTDs displayed at least one claim, with the most common claims referring to naturalness (32%), sugar- (31%), and energy-content (32%). Hard seltzers displayed the most claims (96%, M=3.4 claims/product, SD=1.6). There was a moderate negative correlation between alcohol content and number of claims (r =-.43, p<.001).

Conclusion

Results show the extensive use of nutrition-related claims on RTDs in Australia, particularly for hard seltzers.

Implications for public health

Nutrition-related claims have the potential to mislead consumers about the healthiness of alcohol products and more stringent regulation of nutrition-related claims is needed.

含酒精即饮饮料的营养相关声明的类型和流行程度。

目的:研究即饮(RTD)酒精产品的营养相关索赔的程度，以提供对该类别索赔的类型和流行程度的见解。方法:于2022年3月至5月收集产品类型、酒精含量和营养相关声明的存在/类型(n=491)信息。使用卡方分析和两两z检验来确定不同产品类型的索赔发生率差异。斯皮尔曼相关性用于评估酒精含量与索赔数量之间的关系。结果:大约一半(52%)的rtd显示了至少一项声明，最常见的声明涉及天然(32%)，糖(31%)和能量含量(32%)。硬苏打水显示了最多的索赔(96%，M=3.4索赔/产品，SD=1.6)。酒精含量与索赔数量之间存在中度负相关(r =-)。结论:结果显示，在澳大利亚，rtd的营养相关声明被广泛使用，尤其是硬苏打水。对公众健康的影响:与营养有关的声明有可能误导消费者对酒精产品健康的认识，需要对与营养有关的声明进行更严格的监管。

期刊介绍： The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health (ANZJPH) is concerned with public health issues. The research reported includes formal epidemiological inquiries into the correlates and causes of diseases and health-related behaviour, analyses of public policy affecting health and disease, and detailed studies of the cultures and social structures within which health and illness exist. The Journal is multidisciplinary and aims to publish methodologically sound research from any of the academic disciplines that constitute public health.
