Abstract
Food literacy has newly emerged to connect food-related knowledge and skills to healthy diets. The promotion of it is important to protect adolescents as they eat too many low-nutrient, high-energy foods. Although the components of food literacy have been derived from studies on young people, a reliable and valid measurement tool to assess food literacy and promotion strategies with all components of food literacy has yet to be developed.
