Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the use of "whole grains" claims on food products in Brazil and analyzes the nutritional quality of these products.
- Data from 775 grain-based packaged foods collected in 2017 revealed that about 19% had "whole grains" claims, but 35% of these lacked whole grains as a main ingredient.
- The findings suggest that many products with "whole grains" labeling are misleading, as a significant percentage are high in unhealthy nutrients, raising concerns about their claimed health benefits.

The NOVA classification system categorizes foods according to the extent and purpose of industrial processing. Ultra-processed food products (UPF) are frequently composed of excessive amounts of sugars, salt, oils, and fats, and cosmetic additives designed to make them palatable and/or appealing. We aimed to describe the presence of critical nutrients in excess and cosmetic additives in packaged foods and beverages and to evaluate the proportion of UPF that can be correctly identified through the presence of critical nutrients in excess or the presence of cosmetic additives in food products.

In 1994, the Ministers of Health from the Region of the Americas targeted measles for eradication from the Western Hemisphere by the year 2000.

First, a one-time-only "catch-up" measles vaccination campaign is conducted among children aged 9 months to 14 years.
