Abstract

Industrialized foods increasingly present in people's lives have on their label a communication link between the industry and the consumer, who look for products suitable to their health condition. The aim of this study was to analyze whether the labels of edible ice cream produced in the city of Teresina-PI are in line with the standards of the National Health Surveillance Agency. Were analyzed for labeling, nutritional information, use of additives, quantitative information, net weight, legal mass unit, foods that cause allergy. In all samples there is disagreement with the legislation. Better control and enforcement of standards by industries and greater government oversight are needed.
