The report provides a country breakdown of sodium content per 100g/ml of packaged foods in Argentina, Costa Rica, Paraguay and Peru, as well as the proportion of packaged foods that meet Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) regional and lower targets. The Food Labeling Information Program for Latin America (FLIP-LAC) was used for data collection and registration. FLIPLAC is a smartphone-based technology and methodology developed by the University of Toronto, Canada. Foods were classified into eighteen commonly consumed packaged food categories established by PAHO and endorsed by the multi-sectorial Salt Smart Consortium.
