  abstract = {{T}he objective of this paper is to compare food consumption by {C}ambodian garment workers with and without access to a free model lunch provision through a factory-based canteen. {D}ata from an exploratory randomised controlled trial were analysed. {I}n total, 223 female {C}ambodian garment workers were allocated to an intervention arm (six-month lunch provision) or a control arm. {D}ietary intake on workdays was assessed by qualitative 24-h recalls at baseline and twice at follow-ups during the period of lunch provision using the {F}ood and {A}gricultural {O}rganization ({FAO}) guideline on assessing women's dietary diversity. {I}n total, 158 participants provided complete data on the dietary intake over workdays at all interviews. {L}unch provision resulted in a more frequent consumption of dark green leafy vegetables ({DGLV}), vitamin {A}-rich fruits, other fruits, and oils and fats during lunch breaks. {I}n contrast, flesh meats, legumes, nuts and seeds, as well as sweets, were eaten at a lower frequency. {E}xcept for a higher consumption rate of vitamin {A}-rich fruits and a lower intake frequency of sweets, lunch provision had a less clear impact on total 24-h intake from different food groups and was not associated with a higher women's dietary diversity score ({WDDS}). {A} more gap-oriented design of the lunch sets taking into account underutilised foods and the nutritional status of the workers is recommended.},
