Notes: 1 N for baseline and post-intervention was 62; 2 N for follow up was 17; C, correct percentage; IN, incorrect percentage; NR, no response. † Based on a scale value: low fat, medium fat, and high fat content, where: plain scones = medium fat; fresh fruit = low fat; standard bag of crisps = high fat; sausage roll = high fat; baked crisps = medium fat; vegetable soup = low fat. * Statistically significant difference between baseline1 and post-intervention1 for correct knowledge of sausage roll fat content (p = 0.011).
