Healthy public food procurement and service resource library

Healthy public food procurement and service (PFPS) policies set healthy nutrition standards for food and beverages served and sold in public settings where people live, work, learn, and play. These public settings often provide food to a large portion of a country’s population, presenting an important opportunity to enable healthy diets and improve public health by making healthier foods more available.

In 2021, the World Health Organization published the Action framework for developing and implementing public food procurement and service policies for a healthy diet, which provides guidance on developing best practices policies for healthy public food environments. This resource, along with other resources developed by partners around the world, are provided in this library.
