Artigo Commercial foods for infants under the age of 36 months: an assessment of the availability and nutrient profile of ultra-processed foods(Public Health Nutrition, 2021-04-12) Ribeiro, Karla Danielly da Silva; Rocha, Karini Freire da; Araújo, Célia Regina Barbosa de; Morais, Inês Lança de; Padrão, Patrícia; Moreira, Pedro; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9650-3870; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6310-4956; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2251-5967Objective: Considering the negative impact of the consumption of ultra-processed foods on health, the current study assessed the availability and nutritional profile of commercial ultra-processed foods for infants in Natal, Brazil. Design: A cross-sectional exploratory study. Setting: Foods targeted at children under the age of 36 months sold in retail establishments located in high- and low-income areas of the one capital city of Brazil. Participants: 1645 food products consisting of ninety-five different types of food were available. The foods were assessed according to the NOVA classification: minimally processed, processed and ultra-processed. The nutritional content per 100 g was assessed according to processing classification. Results: Half of foods founded were breast milk substitutes and cereal foods (31·6 and 26·3 %, respectively). The foods were predominantly ultra-processed (79 %) and only 4·2 % were minimally processed, with similar proportions of ultra-processed foods being found in both high- and low-income areas. After excluding breast milk substitutes and follow-up formulas, all cereals, food supplements and some of the fruit or vegetable purees were ultra-processed, higher in energy density, fat, carbohydrate and protein and low in fibre (P < 0·05).Conclusions: The findings reveal that ultra-processed foods for infants are widely available in Brazil, reaffirming the need to strengthen the regulation of foods for infants and young children by introducing complementary measures designed to promote the production and marketing of foods manufactured using lower levels of processingArtigo Degree of processing and nutritional value of children’s food products(Public Health Nutrition, 2021-09-08) Ribeiro, Karla Danielly da Silva; Araújo, Célia Regina Barbosa de; Oliveira, Amanda Freitas de; Morais, Inês Lança de; Breda, João; Padrão, Patrícia; Moreira, Pedro; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2251-5967; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9650-3870; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6310-4956; https://orcid.org/0009-0000-4365-132XObjective: This study aimed to characterise the availability, the nutritional composition and the processing degree of industrial foods for 0–36-month-old children according to the neighbourhoods affluence. Design: A cross-sectional exploratory study. Setting: All food products available in retail stores for children aged 0–36 months were analysed. Data collection took place in two neighbourhoods, comparing two different sociodemographic districts (high v. low per capita income), Campanhã and Foz do Douro in Porto, Portugal. Participants: A total of 431 commercially processed food products for children aged 0–36 months which are sold in 23 retail stores were identified. Food products were classified according to their processing degree using the NOVA Food Classification System. Results: For NOVA analysis, of the 244 food products that were included 82 (33·6 %) were minimally processed, 25 (10·2 %) processed and 137 (56·1 %) ultra processed. No food product was classified as a culinary ingredient. The products included mostly cereals, yogurts, prevailed in high-income neighbourhoods for the 0–6-month-old group. It was observed that some categories of ultra-processed food (UPF) presented higher amounts of energy, sugars, saturated fat and salt than unprocessed/minimally processed products. Conclusions: The high availability of UPF offered for 0–36-month-old children should be considered when designing interventions to promote a healthy diet in infancyArtigo Industrialized foods in early infancy: a growing need of nutritional research(Porto Biomedical Journal, 2019) Ribeiro, Karla Danielly; Araujo, Célia; Padrão, Patrícia; Moreira, Pedro; 1545-5017This study analyzes dietary risk factors affecting mortality and disability-adjusted life-years across 195 countries, highlighting high sodium intake and low consumption of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. It finds suboptimal intake of healthy foods and excessive consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, alongside high levels of red and processed meats. The urgent need for healthy eating patterns, particularly during critical periods like complementary feeding and early infancy, is emphasized. The role of ultraprocessed foods, linked to poor diet quality and increased noncommunicable disease risk, is discussed. The study underscores the importance of collecting data on the nutritional profiles of industrialized foods for young children to aid public health efforts in promoting healthier dietary choices.Artigo Nutritional adequacy of commercial food products targeted at 0–36-month-old children: a study in Brazil and Portugal(British Journal of Nutrition, 2022) Ribeiro, Danielly da Silva; Araújo, Célia Regina Barbosa de; Rocha, Karini Freire; Carneiro, Byanca; Morais, Inês Lança de; Breda, João; Padrão, Patrícia; Moreira, Pedro; 0000-0002-2251-5967In the context of the global childhood obesity, it is essential to monitor the nutrition value of commercial foods. A cross-sectional study (November 2018 to April 2019) aimed to evaluate the nutritional adequacy of processed/ultra-processed food products targeted at 0–36-month-old children in Portugal and in Brazil. The nutrient profiling model developed by the Pan American Health Organization was used. A total of food 171 products were assessed (123 in Portugal and forty eight in Brazil). From the fifteen available meat- or fish-based meals in Brazil, 60% exceeded the amount of Na and 100 % exceeded the target for total fat. Given the lack of specification of sugars within carbohydrates in the label of the foods in Brazil, it was not possible to calculate free sugars. In Portugal, from the seventeen fruit and vegetable purees and the six juice/smoothie/tea/drinks available, 82% and 67%, respectively, surpassed the level of free sugar, while total and saturated fat was excessive in all yogurt and yogurt-related products (n 21), 40% of biscuit/wafer/crisps (two out of five) and 13% meat- or fish-based meals (two out of sixteen). These findings demonstrate the relevance of improving the nutritional profile of some food products targeted to young children.
