Methods
A cross-sectional survey was conducted to collect data on nutrient content of all packaged food products available for purchase, regardless of the products country of origin. Data collection took place between August and November 2016 , in 16 supermarkets from the five largest retail chains of Bogotá at the time of the study . Data were collected by 10 fieldworkers who received standardized training on data collection and entry. Photos were taken on all sides of each product to capture the following: barcode, nutritional facts (ie, energy, sodium/salt, total sugar, total fat, saturated fat, and trans-fat ), ingredients, product name, brand, manufacturer , and package size. The data were collected and managed within a REDCap database, with support from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Products were classified into one of 12 food categories . Statistical analyzes were performed to calculate the mean levels of the nutrients of concern per 100 gram or per 100m L using SAS version 9.4.
