dc.description.abstractThe study collected nutrition labeling information on all prepackaged foods and beverages available in the stores of the five largest food retailers in Brazil, located in low- and high-income neighborhoods. Findings reveal that different nutrient profiling models (NPM) differ in the number and the proportion of foods that are eligible for displaying a front-of-package (FOP) label in support of healthy food choices. These discrepancies highlight the importance for policy makers to carefully evaluate such models when trying to identify a suitable model to implement labeling regulations.en
