Objective:
To evaluate changes in food consumption among children aged 6 to 59 months following the implementation of warning labels on foods high in sugars, sodium, fats, and saturated fats in Uruguay.
Methods:
A before-and-after design was used to assess changes in food consumption between 2 cross-sectional samples of children aged 6-59 months surveyed before (2018) and after (2023) the implementation of the policy. Generalized linear models (binomial distribution and logit link function) were conducted for 2 age groups (6-23 and 24-59 months), adjusting for potential confounders and including interactions between cohort and household income.
Results:
Between 2018 and 2023, children aged 6-23 months presented significant reductions in the consumption of several product categories targeted by the policy. Both age groups had lower odds of consuming sodas, artificial juices, and flavored waters.
Conclusions And Implications:
The findings showed significant reductions in the likelihood that children consumed several categories of products typically high in nutrients linked to risk of noncommunicable diseases, consistent with a potential influence of warning labels.
