Objective: To reduce food loss and waste, restaurants may encourage customers to "eat up" over servings that is more than the appropriate amount. The unfortunate consequence may be health issues resulting from customers' excessive consumption. The purpose of this study was to summarize the current status and specific efforts of local governments to reduce food loss and waste while also considering good health; the focus was on restaurants. Methods:We conducted a Web search from September 2020 to October 2021 of 155 municipalities, including prefectures, cities with public health centers, and special wards, using "food loss and waste" as the search term on each municipality's website. We obtained codes, categorized them, and calculated them as percentages.Results: In total, 1,918 codes were extracted. Of the 155 municipalities, 90.3% had initiatives for 【resi-dents】 , 64.5% had initiatives for 【restaurants】 , while 59.4% had initiatives for both. The municipalities that take measures to [eat up] in restaurants toward 【residents】 and 【restaurants】 were 131 and 64 municipalities respectively, and of each category 93.1% and 95.3% confirmed that they were also taking measures to ensure moderate food intake, while 6.1% and 3.1% confirmed that they were only taking measures to [eat up] in restaurants.Conclusions: Among the municipalities that confirmed promotion of the initiative to [eat up], more than 90% also confirmed the initiative for encouraging moderate food intake. Efforts to reduce food loss and waste in restaurants may lead to the promotion of healthy food environments therein; corresponding initiatives may also have an impact on the global environment.
