dc.description.abstractUnderstanding the prevalence and nutritional profile of products affected by proposed regulation is important for developing effective policy to improve consumers’ ability to make healthier food decisions. The article details a study which collected nutrition labeling information on prepackaged foods and beverages available in supermarkets in Brazil. Findings show a pervasive presence of health and nutrition claims in the Brazilian food supply and a larger proportion of nutrition claims than other types of claims. Restricting the presence of nutrition claims in foods high in critical nutrients should be part of regulatory processes that aim to help consumers make healthier choices.en
