Instituto Costarricense de Investigación y Enseñanza
The project identified sodium content in fast, artisanal and street foods, comparing the results between participating countries (Paraguay, Peru, Costa Rica, Brazil, Argentina). It identified the determinants and barriers affecting the change in dietary sodium intake of consumers in order to design a social marketing plan which would be beneficial for salt reduction. 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. This brief provides recommendations for public policy.
