Low-income South African adults consume, on average, 40% of their calories from ultra-processed products, according to a new study published this month in Public Health Nutrition<\/em><\/a>. Meanwhile, only 7% meet the World Health Organization\u2019s recommendations for daily fruit and vegetable intake, and only 19% meet fiber recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n

Researchers at the University of the Western Cape in South Africa, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the University of Sydney examined the diets of over 2,000 low-income South Africans reported in a 24-hour dietary recall collected in 2017\u20132018. They classified all the foods people reported eating according to their level of processing, using the NOVA classification system<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSouth Africa is facing a rising tide of obesity and non-communicable diseases that is driven in part by the proliferation of ultra-processed products,\u201d said Tamryn Frank, PhD, researcher and dietitian at the School of Public Health at the University of the Western Cape in South Africa and the study\u2019s first author. \u201cConsuming these ultra-processed products is associated with numerous health risks, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, certain cancers, and increased risk of early death. This puts a strain on our already burdened health care system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of particular concern to the researchers is that younger consumers appear to be getting more of their calories from ultra-processed products than older consumers\u2014a concerning trend given the increase in nutrition-related diseases<\/a> in South Africa.Among 18- to 29-year-olds, ultra-processed products accounted for just over 40% of daily calories, compared to 22% for 40- to 50-year-olds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Africa is one of many countries actively working to implement policies that could help improve the food supply and the population\u2019s dietary quality. In 2018, for example, the country began taxing soft drinks based on their sugar content under a Health Promotion Levy. This led to the beverage industry significantly reducing the amount sugar<\/a> in products, as well as drops in purchases<\/a> and intake<\/a> of taxable beverages. For example, young adults in Langa, South Africa reduced their intake of taxed beverages by 37%<\/a>, drinking 9 grams less sugar per person per day. In Soweto, Johannesburg, black adolescents and adults reported decreasing their frequency of drinking sugary beverages by 7 times per week<\/a> among high-intake consumers and 2 times per week among medium-intake consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To build on the success of the Health Promotion Levy, last year the National Department of Health released a draft front-of-package warning label regulation<\/a>, designed and written based on scientific evidence from focus groups and randomized controlled trials in South Africa. The Department is currently reviewing public comments and working on finalizing the regulation. This policy aims to provide South Africans of all literacy levels with clear guidance on which products are high in nutrients of concern (sugar, saturated fat, and salt) or contain non-sugar sweetener. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research is also underway to identify how and to what extent ultra-processed, unhealthy foods are marketed to South Africans<\/a>, particularly children and adolescents<\/a>. Restricting such marketing is a policy approach prioritized by the World Health Organization<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Africa faces the double challenge of limiting consumption of ultra-processed and nutritionally harmful foods while also ensuring low-income populations have enough to eat. Of those surveyed for this study, 14% reported experiencing moderate to severe hunger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis challenge of addressing both under- and over-nutrition will require a combination of policies to ensure equitable access, availability and affordability of healthy foods,\u201d said Frank. \u201cA start would be using revenue raised from the Health Promotion Levy to subsidize the cost of fruits and vegetables, particularly for low-income populations,\u201d said Frank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
