Evaluation of Economic and Health Outcomes Associated With Food Taxes and Subsidies: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
On behalf of the World Health Organization, this systematic literature review and meta-analysis sought to assess the outcomes of implemented food taxes and subsidies for prices, sales, consumption, and population-level diet and health. A total of 54 eligible articles were assessed for the systematic review and 15 for the meta-analysis. Results of this systematic review and meta-analysis indicated that fruit and vegetable subsidies were associated with a moderate increase in fruit and vegetable sales.
