[A health promotion program aimed at employees and restaurant operators: results of the European FOOD project].

Public health is facing a major challenge: the fight against overweight and obesity. Many projects have been developed and implemented all over the world. FOOD is one of the most important European programs to promote a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet in the workplace. The program aims to improve the nutritional quality of the food offered in restaurants and to facilitate consumer choice by educating and informing employers and their employees. Different channels, tools and countries have been involved in this program which took place over the course of two years and is ongoing due to the high value of the applied methodology.
