Abstract
This is a summative evaluation of the project “Scaling up and Evaluating Salt Reduction Policies and Programs in Latin American Countries.” The project generated knowledge and research innovations to drive policies and programs for dietary sodium reduction. Knowledge on the sodium content of over 8300 packaged foods and 100 street, artisanal and fast foods has been generated. Quantification of the number of packaged foods that exceed regional and/or national sodium reduction target levels was established. Several innovations were created as part of this research and are available for future use including the Food Label Information Program (FLIP) interface and database.
