To promote balanced diets and improve the eating habits of urban residents in China, Yum China has established the Chinese Nutrition Society Research Fund – Yum China Dietary Health Foundation. This foundation continuously supports scientific research projects or health surveys related to "dining-out," "healthy restaurant development," and "urban residents' health," with a focus on "nutrition and health in dining." In 2024, the foundation prioritized three key initiatives aligned with current development trends: research on digital intelligence in the food service industry, promotion and impact assessment of the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese School-aged Children within the sector, and study on urban residents' outof-home breakfast consumption patterns.

By the end of 2024, the Yum China Dietary Health Foundation has provided funding of RMB 26million+ to 100 + projects.
