A dataset of food composition of packaged products sold in Guatemalan Supermarkets

The objective of this study was to assess the presence of nutrition declarations and nutritional quality in pre-packaged food products sold in Guatemala. Nutrition labels of pre-packaged food products sold in seven supermarkets in Guatemala city were photographed, we extracted information about declaration of energy, total/saturated/trans-fats, total/added sugars and sodium content (critical nutrients). We classified all products according to their degree of processing using the NOVA classification system groups: 1) unprocessed or minimally processed; 2) processed culinary ingredients; 3) processed and 4) ultra-processed products; and nutritional quality (PAHO and WHO-Europe nutrient profile models). We adapted the data collection proposed by the Food Monitoring Group.
