What’s behind our choices? Understanding food purchases and behaviours in the out of home environment in Scotland

How the out of home environment affects what we buy and eat in Scotland

This report brings together the latest evidence on how the out of home environment affects what we buy and eat in Scotland. 

It highlights that eating out has become part of everyday life. However, the food and drinks offered and promoted in the out of home environment are often not good for our health. 

By making healthier options more available, affordable and appealing, we can continue to enjoy eating out without compromising our health. Urgent action is needed to reshape the out of home environment in Scotland, to address these challenges directly and support progress towards the Scottish Dietary Goals.
