We design healthier alternatives A Healthier Choice study consists in analyzing local dietary habits, and in particular, identifying food and drink alternatives in real-life practices. Modeling helps to assess the impact of changes in consumption on the quality of diets (by nutrients or using quality scores). Since 2016, such studies have allowed us to propose healthier alternatives in various geographies, such as healthier snacking options, healthier hydration for children, or healthier first food diversity for toddlers. Despite huge progress over the last 70 years, malnutrition remains a key public health challenge in all countries, with nutrient deficiencies still a concern for many people - even in contexts of excessive consumption. For young children in particular, diversification is an important feeding period during which their specific needs must be fulfilled while starting a transition to more elaborate dietary patterns, often in the context of family meals. Public health data reveals that deficiencies such as iron or vitamin D are most common in young children(1), and remain prevalent among teenagers and adults. Danone conducted several studies in Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, Poland, Egypt and the UK, often with a focus on toddlers. The objective of those studies was to understand food and fluid consumption patterns in order to assess the adequacy of nutrient intakes to recommendations and identify relevant and realistic dietary levers to balance diets and reduce micronutrient deficiencies. In Algeria, dietary data collected on 0 to 60-year old people in 2019 were used for descriptive and modeling analyses. Globally, mineral intakes were not in adequation with recommendations, except for the youngest, and for phosphorus. Almost all vitamin intakes were below recommendations. Simulation and diet optimization analyses have shown a key role for follow-on and young-child formula to help non-exclusively breastfed 6-24 months-old children reach adequate intakes. A scientific publication is currently being drafted to communicate the results. (1) WHO, UNICEF
