| Melbourne City (North Melbourne Rec Centre) |
In 2010 the City of Melbourne's Green Light Eat Right program was implemented at a seasonal cafe at the North Melbourne Recreation Centre. Over the next four years the availability of 'red' items were reduced, and then all 'red' items were removed in 2014 as part of a 'No Red' trial. Following success of this trial, ongoing changes were implemented over the 2015/16 season. |

Alfred Health: Food for Thought, Encouraging Healthy Choices
Healthy drinks trials in retail settings at Alfred Health
|
Alfred Health is proud to be reducing consumption of sugar sweetened drinks through a series of behavioural insights trials.
In partnership with our key retailers, we tested whether relatively small changes in the placement and price of beverages would impact consumer choice and retail profit.
By taking sugar sweetened beverages off display in two cafes, and adding 20% to the price of sugar sweetened beverages in a convenience store and in vending machines, Alfred Health helped shift buyer behaviour.
In all four of the trials, consumers kept buying drinks; there was no significant difference in total drink sales. Promisingly however, people shifted away from sugar sweetened beverages and towards healthier choices.
This translates to around 36,500 fewer sugar sweetened beverages sold at The Alfred each year.
