Get to know the food traffic light system1
Before implementing the Healthy Club Canteen Program, the first thing that
you need to be familiar with is the food ‘traffic light system’. This system
categorizes foods and drinks into three colour groups to give consumers an
idea of prioritizing food choices:
● 1st GREEN - Best choices
● 2nd AMBER - Choose carefully
● 3rd RED - Limit
1. The GREEN Category
Foods and drinks in this category are the most preferable and
nutritious choices. Characteristics common in GREEN items:
- good sources of important nutrients
- lower in saturated fat, added sugar and/or salt
- lower in energy (kJ)
- higher in fibre
Club canteens should always promote GREEN items and maintain at least
50% of GREEN choices on the menu.
2. The AMBER Category
Foods and drinks in this category should be chosen carefully and be eaten
in moderate amount occasionally. Characteristics common in AMBER
items:
- May provide some nutrients
- May provide too much energy (kJ) than required
- Contain more saturated fat, added sugar and/or salt compared to
GREEN items
Club canteens may offer AMBER choices, while these choices should not be
promoted over the GREEN choices.
3
MAJOR PARTNER
3. The RED Category
Foods and drinks in this category should be avoided because they will lead
to bad health consequences (e.g. overweight and heart diseases) when
consumed in large portions and too frequently. Characteristics common in
RED items:
- Provide very little or even no important nutrients
- High in energy
- High in saturated fat, added sugar and/or salt
Ideally, RED choices should be absent in club canteens. If it is inevitable to sell
RED choices, they should be limited to no more than 20% on the menu.
The following two figures show examples of common foods and drinks available
in canteens, and their classifications.
Classification of common drinks in the canteen2:

Plain, unflavoured 100% Coconut added sugar

Simple Strategies, Change Gradually
This section outlines what simple changes you can make to promote healthier
choices. You may decide which and how many strategies to be adopted in the
canteen. We recommend starting slow, selecting 1- 3 strategies to begin with,
and progress to more strategies as you go along.
1. Product Alternatives3
You may use the Victorian Governments Healthy Eating Advisory Service
(HEAS) FoodChecker to find healthier product alternatives for your
recipes or food items. Below are examples:
Type Suggestions Brand
Bread a) Use multigrain, wholemeal bread with less salt 9 Grain Tip
Top Plus
Wholemeal
b) Substitute with bagels, baguette
The One
c) AVOID croissants and brioche Tip Top
Sandwich

ii) Use reduced fat/skim milk
iii) Make artificial sweeteners available

12MAJOR PARTNER
2. Promotion4, 5
a) Provide special offers or meal deals with GREEN items. Example:
i) Plain scones/ bagels with coffee made with reduced-fat milk
ii) Unsalted nuts with tea
iii) Free fruit
iv) Green Drinks Loyalty Program
b) Actively promote GREEN items with posters
c) Limit display and promotion of RED items on reception desk and cashier
13MAJOR PARTNER
3. Product Placement6
a) Promote GREEN items
i) Place at eye level / on the counter
b) Discourage RED items
i) Place RED items in non-prominent positions
e.g. RED drinks at bottom shelf of fridge; RED snacks under the bench
or in cupboard; Keep pie warmer/ cookie can out of sight
ii) Conceal RED items with posters
4. Price Adjustment of RED items7
The key idea is to make RED items less appealing in terms of price and at the
same time, to ensure GREEN items are attractively and competitively priced.
To practice it, you should:
● Increase the price of RED items by 10-20%.
Examples:
$5 ➡$5.5 (+10%) $3➡$3.6 (+20%) $5➡$6 (+20%)
● Consider selling GREEN items for less when their sales are stable.
14MAJOR PARTNER
5. Serving Size Adjustment8
a) Reduce size of RED items
b) Offer more size options
6. Labelling on menu9
Showing colours of items according to traffic light system on menu, where
i) items should be listed in the order of GREEN, AMBER, then RED
ii) at least 50% of food items on the menu are GREEN,
iii) no more than 20% of food items are RED.
To give you an idea of what a healthy menu should look like, here is a sample:
15MAJOR PARTNER
Possible challenges and solutions10
1. Difficulty recruiting sufficient staff at the beginning
○ Start by choosing strategies that require the least human
resources and training (e.g. price adjustment and product
repositioning).
2. Restricted cost and supporting resources11 (e.g. Storage
facilities, time for finding suitable food suppliers, human
resources)
○ Do as much as you can. One small step, one giant leap. You can
implement small changes at first and make bigger changes when more
resources are available.
○ You may apply for funding from your municipal council (e.g.,
Community Grants) with the purpose statement of Healthy Club
Canteen implementation. The League can also provide assistance
during your application.
3. Finding it hard to follow the suggested recipes
○ The recipes are only for references, you DO NOT need to make
dishes from scratch. You can check the healthiness of your own
recipes using Foodchecker first before deciding to change the menu.
○ If decided to change the menu, you may refer to the Suggested
Supplier list for food products in different colour groups for easy
implementation. You may also find alternatives of different products
using FoodChecker with the User guide of FoodChecker as provided
in the later part of the booklet.
4. Lack of motivation / frustration in implementation
○ You do not need to achieve the goal (i.e. 50% GREEN items and less
than 20% RED items on menu) right away, you can implement the
program gradually at your own pace that suits the situation of your
club. A tiny change is also seen as successful.
○ You can also seek assistance from the League dietitian and refer to
the Assistance Contacts for channels of further assistance.
16MAJOR PARTNER
5. Hard to sustain the program due to customer indifference
○ It is normal that customers show no interest in choosing GREEN
items because of insufficient understanding at the beginning.
Therefore, having trained staff to explain changes of the canteen
and deliver health messages to customers is important.
Implementation of the Greek Drinks Loyalty program will
hopefully encourage customers to try and boost the sales of
GREEN items12.
○ Let customers be more involved in deciding items to be sold in
your canteen by actively collecting their feedback. Make use of
strategies provided above on finding product alternatives to
compromise customer preferences and item healthiness.
○ Remember that people are getting more conscious about healthy
eating. Do not give up in sustaining the program due to temporary
obstacles.
6. Too much unhealthy options in stock
○ Healthiness of food can be improved by cooking methods. Try to
steam ingredients instead of deep-frying. Offering the dish in a
smaller size is also useful. E.g. Steaming dim sims instead of frying
dim sims; Offering more size options.
7. Having no direction on profit and customer acceptance
evaluations
○ You may follow instructions in our supplementary evaluation
framework to assess profit changes. Sample surveys will also be
provided for you to compare pre- and post-implementation staff
and customer responses. If you are not able to conduct all
surveys, simply collecting feedback from customers during their
purchase would give you some idea on their acceptance.

Extra: A Little Different Barbeque Gathering, the Same
Joyfulness14, 15
To make your barbeque healthier, consider a couple of the strategies listed
below:
General:
1. Using less cooking oil. E.g. use spray oil
2. Choosing oil e.g. canola oil or sunflower oil
3. Using reduced fat cheese
VEGETABLE:
Adding fruits and vegetables into your barbeque food item list:
1. Vegetarian burger made with tofu is a yummy alternative.
2. Grilling more vegetables such as tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, corn
cobs etc.
3. Providing salads/coleslaw as side instead of hot chips.
MEAT:
1. Choose leaner cuts of meats
Chicken Boneless, skinless chicken breast
Boneless, skinless, chicken thighs
Lean ground chicken burger
Pork Sirloin roast
Tenderloin
Loin chops
Lamb Lamb leg steak
Loin chops
Lamb shoulder (trimmed fat)
Beef Top round steak
Sirloin tip steak
Eye of round steak
Bottom round steak
Tenderloin rump
Extra-lean ground burger
35MAJOR PARTNER
2. Better meat product options
i) Pork and chicken sausages/burgers are leaner than those made
with beef/lamb.
ii) Choosing a reduced-salt and fat sausages/burgers instead of
regular version.
iii) Choosing vegetable-and-meat mixed sausages/burgers.
iv) Making your own burger using lean meats.
SEASONING AND CONDIMENTS:
1. Use herbs and spices for seasoning.
2. Reducing the amount of salt, sugar (including honey) and marinades used.
3. Switching to a vegetable-based dip: Avocado / Guacamole / Eggplant/
beetroot.
4. Using reduced-salt and -sugar sauces and serve the sauces separately.
Recommended sauces:
➔ Tomato sauce: Heinz 50% less added sugar and salt tomato
ketchup
➔ Mustard: generally yellow mustard contains less salt.
➔ Barbecue Sauce: Masterfoods Barbecue Sauce Reduced Salt &
Sugar 475ml
➔ Pesto and Vinegar
➔ Soy Sauce: Kikkoman Soy Sauce Soy Reduced Salt instead of
regular soy sauce
STAPLE:
1. Choosing wholemeal/ whole-grain bread or high-fibre white bread, rolls
