Abstract

The University of Ontario Institute of Technology (Canada) worked in collaboration with country researchers to assess changes to sodium levels in packaged foods (2015-2018) across four participating countries: Peru, Paraguay, Argentina and Costa Rica. The project determined whether a significantly greater proportion of packaged foods meet the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO) regional targets. The data generated can provide a basis to inform new policies, and modifications to existing policies and programs (regional sodium targets, economic analyses).
