Packaged food sampling
Number of products sampled: 3,619
Date collected: 2012-2016
Nutrient types: sodium
Methods
Data was collected in large supermarkets between 2012 to 2016 in Beijing, Heilongjiang, Henan, Zhejiang and Guangxi by the NINH and CCDC\_Photos of nutrition labels were used to record nutrient data. To ensure that survey data were both representative and credible, this study mainly collected packaged foods with high market share, clear product information such as name, factory address and formula, and within the warranty period.
The products were grouped into categories according to the “Code for Expression of Food Composition Data” issued by the National Health Commission of China, for which the mean and standard deviation were obtained for sodium content (mg per 100 gm of product).
