“…Corvalán et al (2021) verified 1,915 foods in 16 product categories comparing the nutritional information of products considered “high-in” before the implementation of the law (2015–2016) and after its implementation (2017), to detect the proportion of products reformulated. It was shown that 15% of this total was reformulated, and the changes were statistically significant mainly regarding the reduction of sugar (beverages, milk and dairy products, breakfast cereals, desserts and ice cream and sweet pastes) and sodium (salty paste, cheeses and cured meats).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this scoping review was to summarise the general results of the Chilean Food Law implementation to help to understand how this policy has changed consumer's behaviour.Design/methodology/approachPreferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines were followed. Five databases were searched for studies published from January 2015 to February 2020 evaluating the Chilean population's perception, behaviour and purchasing habits of processed foods.FindingsThe results showed that consumers support the implementation of a front-of-package warning label (FOPWL) and thought it a good strategy to help make healthier food choices for themselves. However, even with a positive perception about these products, the intention-to-change the purchase of unhealthy food occurred only for sugar-sweetened beverages. Meanwhile, children did not stop eating foods that had a FOPWL, although the mothers' perception was that the presence of FOPWLs could be important to differentiate unhealthy from healthy products. The availability of products with FOPWLs at schools decreased, indicating that the law was being complied with and that the child-directed marketing strategy showed a reduction after the first phase of implementation.Practical implicationsThis evidence will guide other countries about in understanding and improving this policy.Originality/valueThis is the first study to gather research available in international databases that evaluated the results of the Chilean Law on the advertising of children's food and the perception, purchase intention, reformulation of products and consumption behaviour of the Chilean population.

“…In all three framing strategies, industry actors and some other "neutral" participants either ignored or were unaware of its underlying roots as a health policy, instead focusing on the ways that FOPL conflicted with trade norms and rules. In this first strategy, both opponents and neutral participants reacted to a belief that Chile would receive preferential trading conditions, since Chile had already implemented a similar style of FOPL (Corvalán et al, 2021).

Discursive Power: Trade Over Health in CARICOM Food Labelling Policy

Moving towards a more sustainable, healthier, and equitable food future requires a significant system transformation. Policies to achieve this transformation are notoriously difficult to achieve, especially where actors with conflicts of interest are involved in governance. In this paper, I analyze how corporate actors frame issues inside a process to develop Front-of-Pack Labelling across the Caribbean. Focusing on three major framing strategies, I show how industry actors argued 1) (falsely) that FOPL would privilege Chilean food suppliers; 2) that FOPL would constitute a major transgression of international trade law; and 3) that a regional public health organization (the Pan-American Health Organization) is an illegitimate influence on the policy. Together, these three framing strategies reconstruct the policy problem as one of trade rather than public health. I argue that the resulting narrative is both a product and a function of the discursive power food companies wield in the standard-setting process and provide empirical detail about how food companies act to prevent policy attempts facilitating food systems transformation.

“…According to the latest National Health and Nutrition Survey, about 90% of Mexican children consumer soft drinks on a regular basis (Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública, 2021[186]). 27 Argentina has also implemented a mandatory labelling scheme in 2022, including a warning label to signal the presence of sweeteners and their negative effects.…”

Simplified nutrition labelling policies provide supplementary nutritional information in an easy-tounderstand label displayed on food products at the front-of-pack. Forty-four countries have introduced these types of labelling schemes with a view to promoting positive public health outcomes. Preliminary insights on the impact of these schemes show that they can influence reformulation efforts by the food industry as well as consumers' purchasing decisions. The schemes differ, however, across several dimensions including implementation methods (voluntary or mandatory), the extent to which they provide consumers with nutrient information versus nutrition advice, the conveyed message, targeted products, design and appearance, and accompanying national policy mix. Their rapid proliferation across the world has led to a diversity of schemes which can have implications for private sector decisions and trade. Mechanisms to improve the availability of information and reduce administrative hurdles should be considered in order to improve the integration and use of such schemes, and to facilitate trade. Improving consistency across the nutrient criteria that underpin the different schemes could be considered when reviews are undertaken, especially at the regional level.
