As of this month, the University of Exeter will provide nutritional information across all menus in its campus catering outlets.
The development follows a survey last May which found that more than two thirds of Exeter students were concerned about a friend's eating habits.
Campus Services provide one million meals a year across campus in catered halls of residence, cafes and restaurants and want to aid customers to make better-informed decisions.
A spokesperson for the University said, “Student and staff wellbeing and healthy eating are two areas that the University catering teams are committed to.
'Many people are eating more saturated fat, salt and added sugar than Government recommendations; and too little fruit, vegetables, oily fish and fibre,” adding that the move should help customers to “make better informed decisions about the food they eat.”
