Applying the Nova food classification to food product databases using discriminative ingredients
Background: Growing interest in the Nova food classification system surged among various stakeholders, driven primarily by compelling evidence linking the consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) to negative health outcomes. This growing interest underscores the potential value of identifying clear markers to classify UPFs, particularly to support research and regulatory efforts. Objective: To propose replicable methods to identify UPFs, by te…
Food additives in Latin America
BACKGROUND: Latin America is distinguished by diverse regulatory frameworks and evolving dietary patterns, including the weakening of traditional diets and the increasing consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs). Predominantly produced by transnational corporations, UPFs rely heavily on food additives to achieve desirable sensory properties (e.g., flavor, color), ensure food safety, and extend shelf life. Over the past decade, research has inc…
Perceptions of non-sugar sweeteners and front-of-package labels among parents of preschool and school-aged children in Brazil
Objective: To describe Brazilian parents’ perceptions of non-sugar sweeteners (NSS) in beverages consumed by children and their views for NSS front-of-package labels (FOPL). Design: A qualitative-driven mixed-methods embedded design was used. Seven focus groups with parents of children explored perceptions of NSS. Qualitative data were coded and analyzed using thematic analysis. Participants also completed a closed-ended survey assessing familiar…
Using commercial dataset for extracting information on nutrition composition for policy evaluation purposes
Objective: This study assessed the suitability of nutritional composition data from a commercial dataset for policy evaluation in Brazil. Design: We compared the proportions of packaged foods and beverages, classified according to the Nova food classification and the nutritional composition of matched products using data from a commercial database of food labels (Mintel-Global New Products Database (GNPD)) and the Brazilian Food Labels Database (…

Food swamps in Campinas, Brazil
The characteristics of the food environment can interfere with physical access to healthy foods and accentuate health inequalities. The presence of food swamps, i.e., the greater availability of ultra-processed food and commercial establishments compared to those that sell healthier options, are associated with the consumption of unhealthy foods. This study identified the spatial distribution of these establishments in Campinas, São Paulo. Fast-f…
Mapeamento de pântanos alimentares em Campinas, Brasil
As características do ambiente alimentar podem interferir no acesso físico a alimentos saudáveis e acentuar as desigualdades em saúde. A presença de pântanos alimentares, ou seja, a maior disponibilidade de estabelecimentos de comercialização de alimentos ultraprocessados em relação aos que comercializam opções mais saudáveis, associado a características de vulnerabilidade da vizinhança, pode estar relacionado ao consumo de alimentos não saudávei…
