| Summary: | This study aims to investigate the utilisation of online food delivery among 150 undergraduate students. 71.3% of participants used the online food delivery (OFD) services. Fast food was the top type of meal bought online. Participants pay more attention to the price of the food than the nutritional value. Participants perceived unhealthy foods online because they were high in salt, sugar and oil. A Pearson chi-square test revealed a statistically significant association between body mass index and OFD. In conclusion, the present study shows that participants place less emphasis on the nutritional value of food when ordering online. |
