Challenging Titans: proposing the triangle as a front of packaging warning nutrition labeling for Brazil
Spinillo, Carla Galvão
Resumo:
I would like to begin this chapter with a provocation: to compare medicines and industrialized food/beverage products. Medicines and industrialized food/beverage products seem to share the goal of promoting the health and well-being of the population. They are both presented in packages that comply with regulations and provide information on their composition (medicine information leaflets/list of ingredients and nutritional facts). The pharmaceutical and the food/beverage industries heavily invest in marketing and advertising their products (e.g., television adds, sales/free samples) which are sold through points of sale (e.g., pharmacies / supermarkets) and virtual/online shops. And finally, in Brazil the pharmaceutical and the food/beverage industries are regulated by the same agency of the Ministry of Health: the Anvisa (National Agency of Sanitary Surveillance).
