Stakeholders’ arguments against and on favor FOP policy : an analysis using the framing framework in Argentina

Abstract

This investigative study aims to generate evidence to promote effective front-of-pack labeling (FOPL) policies in Brazil and Argentina. It provides analysis of the main arguments regarding labelling policy from legal, health and industry points of view. Several countries in the region have already implemented FOPL systems: Ecuador, Perú, México, Chile, Uruguay and Brazil (2018, 2019). However, several actions displayed by food industries’ corporate political activity work to obstruct different health promotion policies. In Argentina as well, the FOP process has not been exempt from the intervention of food and non-alcoholic beverage industries.
