“…Taken together, our findings from a large sample of Brazilian packaged foods and beverages, sold in supermarkets in the country that control 70% of the retail market share contribute to the literature by showing the pervasive presence of nutrition and health claims in unhealthy products, even more so among those highly consumed by children and adolescents [2,25,40]. Although FoP labeling in the format of warning signs seems to be effective in nudging consumers to choose healthier products [8,11,14,43], when these signs are accompanied by nutrition claims for the same nutrient for which a warning sign is present in the package, this can undermine the efficacy of FoP labeling [17].…”

“…Such issue could particularly impact the consumption of added sugars among Brazilian children and adolescents. For example, a third of Brazilian children under the age of two consume sweetened beverages [40], and adolescents report sweetened dairy beverages among the most consumed food items [41]. In fact, the proportional contribution of sweetened dairy beverages to added sugars intake among adolescents is higher than that found for adults and elders [38].…”

We assessed the prevalence of front-of-package (FoP) claims in the Brazilian packaged food supply and examined whether foods with claims were more likely to be high in critical nutrients. Using data from a random 30% subsample of 11,434 foods and beverages collected in the five largest food retailers in Brazil in 2017 (n = 3491), we classified claims into nutrition, health, and environment. We examined whether foods with claims were more likely to be high in critical nutrients using 95% confidence intervals. Claims were found in 41.2% of the products. Nutrition claims were the most prevalent (28.5%), followed by health (22.1%), and environment-related claims (5.2%). More than 85% of the breakfast cereals, granola bars, and nectars contained claims, which were found in 51% of the dairy beverages. Foods with nutrition claims were more likely to be high in critical nutrients (65.3%; 95% CI 62.3, 68.2% vs. 54.1% 95% CI 52.1, 56.0). Products with health (52.9%; 95% CI 49.3, 56.4% vs. 58.5%; 95% CI 56.6, 60.3) and environment-related claims (33.5%; 95% CI 27.0, 40.8% vs. 58.6%; 95% CI 56.9, 60.2%) were less likely to be high in critical nutrients. FoP claims are prevalent in Brazil, and nutrition claims are more likely to have a poorer nutritional profile. Policymakers should consider restricting the presence of claims on unhealthy products.

“…[22][23][24] It is important to reflect that, in the national scenario, the contemporary dietary pattern consists of industrialized and highly processed foods of high caloric value, rich in fat and sodium, which has been inserted in the home context, contributing to the obesity in the family. 25 A survey carried out in Florianópolis, with adolescents, found that having lunch at school or elsewhere was a protective factor for the occurrence of overweight/obesity among public school students. 22 In the present study, approximately one-third of the child population was at risk of being overweight or overweight.…”

Influência do comportamento dos pais durante a refeição e no excesso de peso na infânciaInfluencia en el comportamiento de los padres durante la comida y en el sobrepeso en la infância AbstrActObjective: To assess the influence of parents' behavior during meals and on the overweight in childhood. Methods: Cross-sectional and analytical study, with a quantitative approach, performed with children aged between 12 and 59 months, belonging to the enrolled population of a Family Health Strategy team, in Montes Claros (MG). In order to collect data, it was used a questionnaire with sociodemographic variables related to food consumption and family influence over the eating habits. The anthropometric parameters of weight and height were assessed. We used the Student's t-test (p < 0.05) to compare the averages of the eating behavior of parents and the overweight in childhood. Results: 115 children participated. The overweight in childhood was statistically related to the behavior of parents during meals in the domains "model of sweets consumption" and "special meals". Conclusion:The family environment is associated with the formation of eating habits and the overweight in childhood.Keywords: Feeding behavior; Child nutrition; Eating Habits, Parents. resumoObjetivo: Avaliar a influência do comportamento dos pais durante a refeição e no excesso de peso na infância.

“…11 The early introduction of sweetened beverages was seen in 32% of Brazilian children under two years old, which is associated with the regular consumption of sweetened beverages by the parents, at home, and the habit of watching TV for more than three hours a day. 12 Given scarce national-based research on the topic, the present study is added to the regional studies already carried out to build the scenario of infant and young child feeding in Brazil. Seen that, the objectives of this study were describing the median age of food introduction and its consumption for young child , registered in units of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in Uberlândia City, Minas Gerais State.…”

Objective: To describe the median age of introduction and regular food intake by young children in units of the Family Health Strategy. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 283 young children chosen by uniform stratified cluster sampling. Socio-demographic data on the mother and the child’s food intake were collected (age of food introduction and weekly frequency). Foods were grouped into in natura/minimally processed (G1); culinary ingredients (G2); processed (G3) and ultra-processed (G4). The survival analysis was applied to define the median age of food introduction and the chi-square test was used to compare the frequency of food intake, according to the age range (0-5.9; 6-11.9; and 12-23.9 months old). Results: The median duration of exclusive breastfeeding and breastfeeding were three and 19 months, respectively. The age of median food introduction of G1 was six months, except for eggs, milk and coffee (12 months). For oil and salt (G2), the median was 6 months, and for sugar (G2), seven months. The median age of introduction of most food of G4 was 12 months; for infant formulas, it was seven months; cookies and baby food, eight months. Most food had not yet been introduced for children under six months old. For children from six to 11.9 months old, the regular consumption of G4 (≥5 days/week) was higher for cookies (23.8%), bread (21.2%), infant formulas (21.2%) and baby food (35%); and for children from 12 to 23.9 months old, it was higher for cookies (31.2%), bread (57.5%) and baby food (48.7%). Conclusions: Food introduced and consumed on a regular basis was mainly in natura, at all ages. Processed and ultra-processed food presented a higher frequency of consumption after 12 months old.
