Resumo: | Diet and light foods have been gaining a space of great significance in relation to their consumption. It is noteworthy that people, constantly, do not have the habit of reading and/or do not know how to analyze the labels on product packages. Therefore, the aim of this work was to evaluate the consumption and understanding of consumers regarding diet and light foods. The present study was conducted online, with 103 people. A semi-structured questionnaire containing questions regarding food labeling and the consumption of diet and light products was used and applied via Google forms through social networks (WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, E-mail, Telegram). There was a greater participation of people of the female gender (72.8%). About 83% and 78% of the participants reported they did not use to consume diet and light foods, respectively. More than half of the participants (58.3%) reported they had the habit of reading nutrition labels. Most of them reported they knew the difference between diet and light foods (65%), with 30.1% reporting that diet foods do not have sugar in their composition and 35.9% claiming that light products have reduced calorie levels. The level of education and income influenced the habit of reading labels and knowledge about such foods. Most respondents read the labels and understand the importance, but do not have the knowledge regarding what diet and light products are and for whom they are intended, emphasizing the need to develop educational programs and strategies that clarify how to evaluate and understand nutritional labeling |

Salienta-se que as pessoas, constantemente, não têm o hábito de ler e/ou não sabem analisar os rótulos das embalagens dos produtos. Portanto, objetivou-se avaliar o consumo e a compreensão dos consumidores quanto aos alimentos diet e light. O presente estudo foi realizado de maneira on-line, com 103 pessoas. Utilizou-se um questionário semiestruturado contendo questões referentes à rotulagem dos alimentos e consumo de produtos diet e light e foi aplicado via Google forms por meio das redes sociais (WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, E-mail, Telegram). Obteve-se uma maior participação de pessoas do gênero feminino (72,8%). Cerca de 83% e 78% dos participantes, informaram não ter o hábito de consumo de alimentos diet e light, respectivamente. Mais da metade dos participantes (58,3%) informaram que possuíam o hábito de leitura dos rótulos nutricionais. A maioria informou que sabia a diferença entre um alimento diet e light (65%), sendo que 30,1% relataram que os alimentos diet não apresentam açúcar em sua composição e 35,9% afirmaram que os produtos light apresentam teores reduzidos de calorias. O nível de escolaridade e renda influenciaram no hábito de leitura dos rótulos e conhecimento sobre estes alimentos. A maioria lê os rótulos e compreende a importância, mas não detém o conhecimento em relação ao que é e para quem se destina os produtos diet e light, enfatizando a necessidade de desenvolver programas educativos e estratégias que esclareçam como avaliar e compreender a rotulagem nutricionalIBICT2023-05-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://revista.univap.br/index.php/revistaunivap/article/view/446310.18066/revistaunivap.v29i62.4463Revista Univap; Vol. 29 No. 62 (2023): Revista UnivapRevista Univap; v. 29 n. 62 (2023): Revista Univap2237-17531517-327510.18066/revistaunivap.v29i62reponame:Revista UniVap (online)instname:Universidade do Vale do Paraíba (Univap)instacron:UNIVAPporhttps://revista.univap.br/index.php/revistaunivap/article/view/4463/2245Brazil; XXI century Brasil; Século XXICopyright (c) 2023 Revista Univaphttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVieira, Kássia Héllen Lima Soares, CamilaCarvalho, Anne Christine 2023-05-02T13:27:06Zoai:ojs.biblioteca.univap.br:article/4463Revistahttps://revista.univap.br/index.php/revistaunivapPRIhttps://revista.univap.br/index.php/revistaunivap/oairevista@univap.br2237-17532237-1753opendoar:2023-05-02T13:27:06Revista UniVap (online) - Universidade do Vale do Paraíba (Univap)false |
