Abstract
The surge in online food delivery platforms (OFDPs) calls for research on promoting users’ health. Existing research shows diverse health outcomes across different regions. The fragmented studies across different regions highlight the need for a systematic consolidation to identify key research themes and shape future research directions. To fill this gap, a bibliometric review was done, examining 159 publications from the Scopus database spanning 2000 to 2024. Findings reveal that Australia leads in scientific production, primarily focusing on nutritional labelling concerns. Leading collaborating countries, such as the USA and China, have explored regulatory frameworks and the integration of technological innovations into OFDPs. The key themes include food quality for customer satisfaction, socio-demographic factors determining OFDPs usage, and sustainability concerns such as food waste and public health implications. Managers of OFDPs and policymakers can use the framework with these identified key themes to promote users’ health through OFDPs. Future research should address underexplored areas, like nutritional labelling, artificial intelligence-driven personalised nutrition, and sustainable packaging to promote good health (both at individual and environmental levels) and nutrition.
