Resumo: | ObjectiveThe objective of the study was to analyze label conformity of foods for infants and lactating women according to ethical principles and current regulations. MethodsA total of 86 labels acquired by free access and intentional sampling were analyzed, distributed as follows: infant formulas (n=11), follow-on formulas (n=5), complementary foods (n=07), cereal products (n=11), milk and foods containing vegetables (n=52), and food commonly used to feed this population (n=13). Structured forms were filled out with items from the Resoluções da Diretoria Colegiada (Graduated Board Resolutions) 222/02, 977/98, 40/01, 40/02, 259/02, 23/00 and of the Portarias (rules) 34/98 and 36/98 for each food. The chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test and correlation test were used for data analysis. ResultsThe rate of specific label non-conformity was much greater than that of general labeling. The highest rate of non-conformity was observed in the presentation of illustrations of the foods (images of breastfeeding infants or children with humanized images). Other non-conformities were: the presence of words such as humanized milk, baby or phrases that give a false idea of advantage or safety; the absence of mandatory phrases and non-conformity regarding the composition of the food. Foods that did not have as sales designation any of the characteristics of common use in this age group, that is, that were not marketed as such, such aslacteal flour, cereal flakes and paps presented warning phrases that were not necessarily for that kind of product. ConclusionLabels of foods for breastfeeding infants and toddlers are irregular in many ways, especially regarding the specific labeling of the product. This practice may influence breastfeeding. More inspection is needed as well as more explanations to the food industries and to the consumers in general. |

ObjetivoAnalisar a conformidade de rótulos de alimentos para lactentes e crianças de primeira infância, segundo os preceitos da ética e das legislações vigentes. MétodosForam analisados 86 rótulos captados por livre acesso, amostragem intencional, distribuídos em: fórmulas infantis para lactentes (n=11), fórmulas de seguimento para lactentes (n=5); alimentos de transição (n=7); alimentos à base de cereais (n=11), leites e alimentos à base de vegetais (n=52) e alimentos comuns usualmente empregados na alimentação desse público (n=13). Foram preenchidos formulários estruturados com itens das Resoluções da Diretoria Colegiada 222/02, 977/98, 40/01, 40/02, 259/02, 23/00 e das Portarias 34/98 e 36/98 para cada alimento. Aplicaram-se os Testes Qui-Quadrado, Exato de Fisher e de Correlação. ResultadosA freqüência de não conformidades na rotulagem específica foi muito maior que na rotulagem geral. A maior freqüência de não conformidades observada foi a apresentação de ilustrações inadequadas nos alimentos (imagens de lactentes ou crianças com figuras humanizadas). Outras inconformidades foram: a presença de expressões como leite humanizado, baby ou frases que dão falsa idéia de vantagem ou segurança; e a ausência de frases obrigatórias e não conformidade quanto à composição do produto. Alimentos que não tinham como designação de venda nenhuma das características de uso comum nesta faixa etária, ou seja, não eram comercializados como tal, como farinha láctea, flocos de cereais e mingaus, apresentavam frases de advertência não necessárias para aquele tipo de produto. ConclusãoA rotulagem de alimentos para lactentes e crianças de primeira infância apresenta muitas irregularidades, principalmente no que se refere à rotulagem específica do produto. Essa prática pode repercutir sobre a amamentação. A fiscalização deve ser intensificada, conjuntamente com maiores esclarecimentos às indústrias de alimentos e aos consumidores em geral.Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-09-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9571Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 21 No. 2 (2008): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 21 Núm. 2 (2008): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 21 n. 2 (2008): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9571/6930Copyright (c) 2023 Sheylle Almeida da SILVA, Márcia Regina de Moura DIAS, Tânia Aparecida Pinto de Castro FERREIRAhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlmeida da SILVA, Sheyllede Moura DIAS, Márcia Regina Aparecida Pinto de Castro FERREIRA, Tânia2023-09-04T12:59:47Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/9571Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-09-04T12:59:47Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false |
