Abstract

The global food system delivers more processed, energy-dense, palatable, affordable and effectively marketed foods than ever before. The regulation of marketing becomes an important part of actions to combat obesity. The study assessed the nutritional profile of foods and non-alcoholic beverages advertised on Brazilian television. This poster provides results that indicate a potential high exposure of the Brazilian population to unhealthy food marketing and an inefficient enforcement of existing regulations.
