Noti:The socioeconomic status was defined through a questionnaire of economic classification by the Brazilian Association of Research Companies – Associação Brasileira de Empresas de Pesquisa, ABEP. This classification is based on items such as ownership of goods (television, radio, car, vacuum cleaner, VCR and/or DVD player, fridge, freezer and washing machine), services (housemaid), household characteristics (number of bathrooms) and educational level of the head of the household. The total score for each item results in the classification of respondents into seven strata identified as "social classes" A1, A2, B1, B2, C, D, and E(17). For analysis purposes, the eight economic levels, proposed by ABEP, were regrouped and named as follows: A1, A2, and B1 in High Economic Level (H); B2, C1 and C2 in Medium Economic Level (M) and, D and E in Low Economic Level (L).

Procurement guidelines for food purchases in the Ministry of Health

In July 2016, the Brazilian Ministry of Health implemented procurement guidelines for any food served or sold within the Ministry’s facilities and in its entities (Ordinance No 1.274 of 7 July 2016). The guidelines also apply to independent companies contracted to provide food services on the premises of the Ministry and its entities. The Ordinance aims to address overweight, obesity and non-communicable diseases, and is based on the right to adequate food. The guidelines are based on the Food Guide for the Brazilian Population, and state that only unprocessed and minimally processed food may be procured.

CONANDA Resolution 163: Ban on advertising directed at children under 12 years of age

Brazil bans all advertising directed at children (under 12 years of age) in its constitution through the Child and Adolescent Statute and the National Council for the Rights of Children and Adolescent (CONANDA) Resolution 163 (2014). This resolution can be applied to food publicity, where "abusive publicity" includes any form of market communication (including TV, radio, internet, apps) intended to persuade children and adolescents to consume a product or service. The Conanda resolution is enforced by the Consumer Defense Code (Law 8078/1990) and the Child and Adolescent Statute (Law 8069/1990) but it is widely reported that the the ban is not properly enforced.

National Food and Nutrition Policy

This policy is an updated edition of the National Food and Nutrition Policy (PNAN) to improve food, nutrition and health conditions and to guarantee food and nutritional safety for the Brazilian population. On 25 August 2010, Brazil adopted a Policy on Food Security and Nutrition of Brazil (Decree 7.272) that firmly establishes the right to food in Brazil's food and nutrition efforts.
