SUMMARY:

Ultra-processed foods are ready-to-eat industrial formulations made from laboratory-synthesized substances derived from foods and other organic sources such as oil and coal. They are products with low nutritional quality and have high amounts of salt, fat, sugar, and food additives One of the main factors discussed in the current literature as a potential contributor to the increase in the consumption of AUP is the environmental factor. The food environment is a concept that encompasses the physical space (type, location, institutional insertion and accessibility to the food point of sale), access (price, availability and position on the shelves) and the characteristics of the food sold (nutritional quality, palatability and labeling), which in turn will influence the formation and/or maintenance of eating habits and, consequently, the health conditions of the population in this environment. The environment may or may not promote access to healthy food choices, influencing the quality of food. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the concentration of ultra-processed foods in the city of Rio Largo - AL. This is a cross-sectional study, belonging to a broader project entitled “Health, Food, Nutrition and Child Development – SAND: a cohort study”, aimed at establishing a cohort that followed children from the city of Rio Largo/AL. Data collection was carried out from 2017 to 2018. Food stores were identified by street audit, using the instrument Nutrition Environment Measurement Survey for Stores (NEMS-S) in its adapted and validated version for the Brazilian population. Descriptive analyzes were performed to assess the absolute and relative availability of the 21 ultra-processed foods present in our list, according to the types of commerce. Such statistical analyzes were performed using the Stata 13 software. Thematic maps were also drawn up in order to identify the distribution of establishments and density of commercial establishments in the municipality of Rio Largo, in addition to the clusters where the agglomerations occur. Spatial analysis was performed using QGIS software version 3.20.3 (Open Source Geospatial Foundation). A total of 574 commercial establishments in the municipality of Rio Largo were evaluated. About 32% of the establishments were of the grocery/emporium type, followed by the candy retail and wholesale trade (20.4%) and the open market/fruit stand (13.6%). Most of the points of sale had a closed environment (85.5%), were fixed points (95.85) and were mostly frequented by adults (68.5%). Regarding the classification of commercial establishments, it is possible to observe in the municipality of Rio Largo a low frequency of healthy stores and a high frequency of stores classified as ultra-processed.
