智利于2012年批准了《食品标签和广告法》;该法旨在解决肥胖症流行病，特别是儿童肥胖症。实施细节于2015年公布，该法律最终于2016年实施，如本文所述。受管制的食品是根据专门开发的营养分析来定义的，该分析将天然食品视为黄金标准。对于液体食物，将100 mL牛奶中的能量、糖、饱和脂肪和钠的量用作截止值。对于固体食物，能量和关键营养素的第90 - 99百分位数范围内的值被选为天然食物列表中的截止值。一个写着“高“的停车标志被选为包装受管制食品的警告标签。受管制的食品也被禁止在售货亭、食堂以及学校和托儿所的供餐方案中出售或免费提供。此外，受管制的食品不能向14岁以下的儿童推广。决定交错实施该法规，在3年的时间里，营养物质的截止日期变得越来越严格。这些监管工作的方向是正确的，但必须持续下去，并辅之以其他行动，以实现其遏制肥胖流行的最终影响。
Chile approved the law of food labelling and advertising in 2012; this law aims to address the obesity epidemic, particularly in children. The implementation details were published in 2015, and the law was implemented finally in 2016, as described in the current article. Regulated foods were defined based on a specially developed nutrient profiling, which considered natural foods as gold standard. For liquid foods, amounts of energy, sugars, saturated fats, and sodium in 100 mL of cow's milk were used as cut-offs. For solid foods, values within the 90th - 99th percentile range for energy and critical nutrients were selected as cut-off within a list of natural foods. A stop sign stating "High in " was chosen as warning label for packaged regulated foods. Regulated foods were also forbidden to be sold or offered for free at kiosks, cafeterias, and feeding programme at schools and nurseries. Besides, regulated foods cannot be promoted to children under 14 years. A staggered implementation of the regulation was decided, with nutrients cut-offs becoming increasingly stricter over a 3-year period. These regulatory efforts are in the right direction but will have to be sustained and complemented with other actions to achieve their ultimate impact of halting the obesity epidemic.
