• Description:
  Purpose
  
  Local governments can implement food service guidelines (FSG) policies, which potentially, for large cities, can reach millions of people. This study identified FSG policies among the 20 largest U.S. cities and analyzed them for key FSG policy attributes.
  
  Design
  
  Quantitative research.
  
  Setting
  
  Local government facilities.
  
  Subjects
  
  20 largest U.S. cities.
  
  Measures
  
  Frequency of FSG policies and percent alignment to tool.
  
  Analysis
  
  Using municipal legal code libraries and other data sources, FSG policies enacted as of December 31, 2016 were identified. Full-text reviews were conducted of identified policies to determine if they met inclusion criteria. Included policies were analyzed for key policy attributes specific to nutrition, behavioral design, implementation, and facility efficiency.
  
  Results
  
  Searches identified 469 potential FSG policies, of which six policies across five cities met inclusion criteria. Five policies met a majority of criteria assessed by the classification tool. Overall alignment to the tool ranged from 17% to 88%. Five of the six policies met a majority of the nutrition attributes and five met at least 50% of attributes associated with implementation. No policies met the attributes associated with facility efficiency.
  
  Conclusion
  
  FSG policies were identified in five of the 20 U.S. cities. Policy alignment was high for nutrition and implementation attributes. This analysis suggests that when cities adopt FSG policies, many develop policies that align with key policy attributes. These policies can serve as models for other jurisdictions to create healthier food access through FSG.
