Nutrient profiling, digital food environments and emerging ecosystems – with Lewis Wallis

Episode: S4 E4

In this engaging conversation, Lewis Wallis shares his journey balancing a full-time role in the nutrition industry with pursuing a PhD.

We get unique insights from both his research and regulatory roles covering a broad range of topics including:

  • What is a digital food environment?
  • How do we define these environments in a way that can enable healthier choices?
  • How do these multiple environments make up an ecosystem?
  • What are the current nutrient profiling models? How do they compare?
  • What is a “meta-score”?
  • Should we be thinking more deeply about what is included in these models?
  • With multiple nutrient profiling models, what is the policy perspective?
  • How is the regulatory world going to address UPF’s?

Listen in to hear the answers to the big questions, and so much more!
