ABSTRACT
Objective. To analyze the contribution of natural, processed
and ultra-processed foods to energy and nutrient supply in
Mexican households.
Materials and methods. The database
of the National Household Expenditure Survey 2013
was analyzed (n=58 001), which is a cross-sectional survey.
Food supply (g/adult equivalent/day) and energy, macro- and
micro-nutrient supplies were estimated. Foods were classified
following the NOVA system. Households sociodemographic
characteristics were analyzed as covariates.
Results. Natural
foods (NF) contributed with more energy (55.0%) followed
by ultra-processed foods (UPF, 21.2%). NF were the main
source of most nutrients. Processed culinary ingredients (PCI)
and processed foods (PF) had high content of energy, total
fats, and saturated fats, but low content of certain micronutrients.
Sodium was mainly available in PF (34.6%) and UPF
(31.4%). Sugar-sweetened beverages, fast foods, and biscuits
and cookies were the main UPF in terms of energy supply.
Conclusions. In Mexican households, the PCI, PF and UPF
had low nutritional quality.
