Perceptions of Ultra-Processed Foods, Food Processing, and Food Healthfulness among a Cross-sectional National Sample of US Adults
Objective: There is growing public health interest in ultra-processed foods (UPF), but limited research exploring consumers’ perceptions of these foods in the United States. We aimed to characterize consumers’ beliefs about UPFs, the association between perceived food processing and perceived food healthfulness, and alignment between consumers’ perceptions and objective measures of food processing and healthfulness. Design: In a cross-sectional s…
Prevalence of ultra-processed foods and beverages in newly launched products across the Americas
Background Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are an increasing global health concern, but their prevalence across the food supply is unknown. This is particularly important in developing countries such as Latin America, where consumption is lower but increasing. We quantified country-specific metrics of UPFs in the food supply across the Americas, including the prevalence of UPFs, the presence and number of additives, and the extent to which UPFs and …

Firm’s responses to food policies to reduce consumption of ultra-processed food and beverages
Recall, understanding, use, and impact of front-of-package warning labels on ultra-processed foods
In its efforts to reduce increasing rates of obesity and nutrition-related noncommunicable diseases, Peru implemented front-of-package (FOP) warning labels (also called warnings) on processed and ultra-processed foods in June 2019. The goal was to inform consumers about high levels of sugars, saturated fats, sodium, and trans fats in packaged products. We designed a qualitative study to reveal the recall, understanding, and use of the warnings an…
Beverage industry TV advertising shifts after a stepwise mandatory food marketing restriction
Objective: Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) are heavily advertised globally, and SSB consumption is linked to increased health risk. To reduce unhealthy food marketing, Chile implemented a regulation for products classified as high in energies, sugar, saturated fat or sodium, starting with a 2016 ban on child-targeted advertising of these products and adding a 06.00–22.00 daytime advertising ban in 2019. This study assesses changes in television a…

Design and approval of the nutritional warnings’ policy in Peru
Nutritional warnings are used as a public health strategy to address obesity. Peru approved in 2013 and implemented in 2019 a law requiring nutritional warnings on the marketing and packaging of processed foods high in sugar, sodium, saturated fat, and containing trans-fat. The complexity behind the design and approval of these policies over six years provides unique learnings, that inform the obesity prevention context, especially when proposed …

Why Don’t You [Government] Help Us Make Healthier Foods More Affordable Instead of Bombarding Us with Labels? Maternal Knowledge, Perceptions, and Practices after Full Implementation of the Chilean Fo…
Experimental and real-life evaluations show that the use of front-of-package warning labels (FoP) in unhealthy foods is well understood and can modify people's behaviors. However, it is unclear whether these effects remain in the long term because of the risk of message fatigue. The purpose of this study is to explore after four years of implementation of the Chilean Food Labelling law people's dietary behavior and FoP labels attention. Nine focu…
Reformulation of Top-Selling Processed and Ultra-Processed Foods and Beverages in the Peruvian Food Supply after Front-of-Package Warning Label Policy
Front-of-package warning label (FOPWL) policies incentivize the food industry to reduce the content of regulated nutrients in products. We explored changes in the content of nutrients of concern (sugar, saturated fat, trans fat, and sodium) and the percentage of products in the Peruvian food supply that would carry a FOPWL before and after Peru’s implementation of FOPWLs. Longitudinal data on the top-selling foods and beverages (n = 94) were coll…
Sugar-sweetened beverage purchases in urban Peru before the implementation of taxation and warning label policies
Nearly all households purchased high-sugar taxed beverages, although volume purchases of taxed and untaxed beverages declined slightly from 2016 to 2017. Households with high SES and high education purchased the highest volume of taxed beverages, highlighting the need to consider possible differential impacts of the tax policy change by sub-population groups
Awareness of and reactions to health and environmental harms of red meat among parents in the United States

Parental Perceptions and Exposure to Advertising of Toddler Milk
Marketing of toddler milk (i.e., typically sugar-sweetened nutrient-fortified milk-based drinks marketed for children 12-36 months) is an emerging public health problem in the US. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends against the consumption of toddler milk because it often contains added sugar and can displace nutrient-dense foods. Studies have not examined toddler milk perceptions among Latinos, an important gap given Latino children in…
