dc.description.abstractThe study examined whether foods with nutritional claims were more likely to be high in critical nutrients. Twenty to thirty percent of caloric intake in Brazil is through ultra-processed foods (UPF). Increased consumption of UPF is associated with weight gain, hypertension, and all causes of mortality. Front-of-package (FoP) nutritional labeling can improve consumers’ ability to assess the healthfulness of products and help them make healthier choices. Nutrition claims were the most prevalent (28.5%), followed by health claims (22.1%), and environment-related claims (5.2%).en
