Background/Purpose: Food purchasing data may be an important assessment tool to identify healthful and problematic eating behaviors. Associations between food purchasing data and dietary intake to evaluate diet quality haven’t been rigorously assessed. This study examined concordance between electronic food purchasing data and dietary intake collected from primary household food shoppers (n=20) of a major Midwest supermarket chain for measures of dietary quality. Methods: Food purchasing data were retrieved from participants’ supermarket loyalty card for a 2-week shopping period. Dietary intake data were collected over the same 2-week period for 3 non-consecutive days. Data were analyzed for dietary quality (DASH score) and food serving/nutrient densities and compared for concordance, degree of difference, and moderators of difference between measures. Results: Concordance between food purchasing and dietary intake data for DASH score was poor (pc<0.2) for most food/nutrient densities, with low concordance for nuts (pc=.26) and meat (pc=.21). Dairy showed moderate agreement between measures (pc=0.52). Paired t-test showed significant differences between measures for added sugar (p=<0.001), meats (p=<0.001) and carbohydrates (p=0.001). BMI was a significant negative moderator of differences between measures for added sugar and sweets (p = 0.05 and p = 0.04, respectively). Conclusion: These data suggest that electronic food purchasing data collected from a supermarket loyalty card may not be a useful tool for characterizing the quality of overall dietary intake. Further research with a larger sample and inclusion of food purchasing data from restaurants and other sources is warranted to confirm these findings.
