This study aims to assess the implementation of the DepEd Order No. 13 s.

following questions:
1. What is the main reason why DepEd implemented the DepEd order No. 13?
2. What are the common food products consumed by the Northwestern
University students?
3. What are the possible strategies that will help promote healthy diets and
positive eating behaviors on students and employees in Northwestern
University?

The descriptive method was used to assess the implementation of the DepEd Order
No. 13 in the Northwestern University Canteen.

After all the data were analyzed, presented and interpreted the following are the findings
of the study:

that the reasons for implementing the No Unhealthy Foods Policy in the Canteens
Policy is to ensure promotion and development of healthy eating among youth.
Meanwhile, out of 49 respondents of Senior High School respondents (83.67%) have
explained that the reasons for implementing the No Unhealthy Foods Policy in the
