10. Due to the Scottish Diabetes Survey being published later, 2019 data were not available at the time of updating this report.
11. Between 2001 and 2006, the increase in numbers was partly due to improved recording. The increase observed since 2007 is more likely to reflect a real increase in numbers.
12. 2018/19 data from the DEFRA Family Food Survey were not available at the time of updating this report. Therefore, it was not possible to provide an updated analysis of total food energy from total and saturated fat in Scotland.

14. All adults within the household are asked to keep a diary to record all items of expenditure for two weeks. Children aged 7 to 15 years are also asked to keep a record of their personal expenditure.

17. 2018/19 data from the DEFRA Family Food Survey were not available at the time of updating this report. Therefore, it was not possible to provide an updated analysis of total food energy from free sugars in Scotland.

19. All adults within the household are asked to keep a diary to record all items of expenditure for two weeks. Children aged 7 to 15 years are also asked to keep a record of their personal expenditure.
20. The analysis is based on intakes of Non-milk Extrinsic Sugars (NMES) which are also known as added or free sugars and are found in sweets, biscuits, soft drinks, added to breakfast cereals, table sugar, honey and fruit juice. They are not in milk or integrally present in the cells of food such as fruit and vegetables.
21. The Scottish Dietary Goal (SDG) has recently been updated (Scottish Government, 2016) and is now that no more than 5% of daily energy intake should be from free sugars. Data reported in previous years were based on recommended levels of 11%.
22. In February 2018, Kantar made changes to improve the way they weigh and measure Scotland, as well as other regions in Great Britain. This means that the standard Kantar definition now captures data on Scotland only, rather than Scotland and Borders (English side). This has resulted in an up-weighting on the volumes purchased in Scotland. Data have been updated with the revised definition of Scotland from 2014 only.
23. Kantar continually improve their datasets, with regular changes/updates to both product coding and the way the data collected from sample data are weighted up to represent the total picture. Data are usually reworked back 5 years to ensure trends are not adversely affected. Therefore, there may be slight differences in the data provided for 2015-2019 in this report, compared to those previously published.
24. Food Standards Scotland has improved the definitions of diet and regular soft drinks to now include both ambient and chilled drinks. Previous monitoring reported ambient soft drinks only. Data using this improved definition are only available from 2014.

27. The healthyliving award was 'paused' in April 2020 due to the closure of the majority of the catering establishments, as part of the Scottish Government's nation-wide lockdown. No progress has been made by sites since and it is also expected that a number of the 2019/20 award holders will no longer be in business or in a position to continue with their award journey within the next year. As a result, the 2020 figures are not available.
28. These figures fluctuate weekly. The data presented are a snap-shot in time at a given moment.
