Abstract:
This detailed report reviews activities of the University of Toronto team technical support for the “Scaling-up and evaluating salt reduction policies and programs in Latin American countries” project. It includes 15 Appendices. The specific objective was to provide technical assistance to the teams of each country on the collection, entry, processing and analysis of Latin American packaged foods for the assessment of sodium content. The University of Toronto’s Food Label Information Program (FLIP) and Latin American version (FLIPLAC) interface is an iPhone data collector application, used to capture pictures of food packages, and a web-based database management software which can translate data to Microsoft Excel.
