Resumo: | This paper aims to analyze the role of the Chilean government in relation to the corporate food production model, evaluating the public policy of labeling developed by the Ministry of Health in recent years through Law 20.606. It studies the impact of the food labeling law on changes in global consumption patterns, as well as its first results in Chile. In the current context, the State is losing importance as a regulator of food production and consumption in the world, which means that the corporatist regime has greater freedom to enter the household diet. The work is based on the theoretical tradition of food regimes, the role of the State in regulating food consumption, and the recent debate on obesity. In this paper, we review national and international studies that measure the impact of the implementation of government food labeling policies on the reduction or maintenance of overweight or obesity levels. It finds that while labeling mechanisms lead to an overall reduction in consumption of ultraprocessed products, and help industries to incorporate more nutrients into their foods. Nevertheless, their consumption is not eradicated because lower income populations do not have better alternatives to replace them. In addition, complementary policies are necessary, as an incentive to alternative markets and with subsidies and taxes on ultra-processed foods. |

Se estudia el impacto de la ley de rotulado de alimentos en los cambios en los patrones de consumo global, así como sus primeros resultados en Chile. En el contexto actual, el Estado pierde importancia como regulador de la producción y consumo alimentario en el mundo, lo que hace que el régimen corporativista tenga mayor libertad para entrar en la dieta de los hogares. Se trabaja a partir de la tradición teórica de los regímenes alimentarios, del rol del Estado en la regulación del consumo alimentar, así como del debate reciente en torno a la obesidad. Se analizan estudios nacionales e internacionales que miden el impacto de la aplicación de políticas gubernamentales de etiquetado de alimentos en la reducción o mantenimiento de los niveles de sobrepeso u obesidad. Se descubre que, si bien los mecanismos de rotulado llevan a una reducción general en el consumo de productos ultraprocesados, y ayudan a que las industrias incorporen más nutrientes a sus alimentos, no se logra erradicar su consumo debido a que la población con menos ingresos no dispone de mejores alternativas para reemplazarlos.Esse trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o papel do governo chileno frente ao modelo de produção corporativa de alimentos, avaliando a política pública de rotulagem desenvolvida pelo Ministério da Saúde nos últimos anos através da Lei 20.606. Apresentam-se alguns resultados de leis de rotulagem de alimentos sobre as mudanças nos padrões de consumo, assim como seus primeiros resultados no Chile. No contexto atual, o Estado perde importância como regulador da produção e consumo de alimentos no mundo, o que faz com que o regime corporativo tenha mais liberdade para entrar na dieta familiar. O trabalho baseia-se na abordagem dos regimes alimentares para discutir o papel do Estado na regulação do consumo alimentar. São analisados estudos nacionais e internacionais que medem o impacto da implementação de políticas governamentais de rotulagem de alimentos na redução ou contenção dos níveis de excesso de peso ou obesidade. Verifica-se que, embora os mecanismos de rotulagem conduzam a uma redução global do consumo de produtos ultra processados e ajudem as indústrias a incorporar mais nutrientes nos seus alimentos, o seu consumo não é erradicado porque a população com menos renda não tem melhores alternativas para substituí-los. Ademais, políticas complementares são necessárias, como incentivos aos mercados alternativos, e com subsídios e impostos sobre os alimentos ultraprocessados.Edunisc - Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul2020-05-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/redes/article/view/1485010.17058/redes.v25i2.14850Redes ; Vol. 25 No. 2 (2020); 527-544Redes; Vol. 25 Núm. 2 (2020); 527-544Redes; Vol. 25 No. 2 (2020); 527-544Redes; v. 25 n. 2 (2020); 527-5441982-6745reponame:Redes (Santa Cruz do Sul.
