Adherence
Environmental interventions to reduce SSB consumption can have adverse outcomes, including compensatory consumption outside school, reduced milk intake, and stakeholder discontent.
When implementing SSB restrictions, anticipate and monitor for unintended consequences like compensatory consumption or stakeholder pushback. Ensure healthy alternatives are available in all relevant settings (e.g., water outside school).
LimitedQualifiesLOW confidence
Adverse outcomes reported by studies, which may occur in some circumstances, included negative effects on revenue, compensatory SSB consumption outside school when the availability of SSBs in schools is reduced, reduced milk intake, stakeholder discontent, and increased total energy content of grocery purchases with price discounts on low-calorie beverages, among others.
Why this rating
Certainty of evidence on adverse outcomes was low to very low.
