SUMMARY:

Brazil is one of the largest meat producers in the world and industrializes from several meat products, which are important sources of protein, vitamins and minerals, however some of these products may contain high levels of sodium and fat, which if consumed in excess can cause problems of health. In view of this, a survey of the nutritional information of meat products was carried out, regarding the sodium content available on brazilian industry websites. A total of 1600 products were evaluated, being listed in 20 groups and classified as high (>1.5 g/100 g), medium (> 0.3 and ≤ 1.5 g/100 g) and low (≤ 0.3 g/100 g) in sodium according to global and national parameters. Jerked beef, charqui and salted product had the highest sodium content of 5.48, 5.21 and 2.58 g/100 g, respectively. The lowest values were found for pâté, quibe, seasoned meat, hamburger, meatballs and breaded which presented values of 0.77, 0.66, 0.65, 0.65, 0.60 to 0.54 g/100 g respectively. As for the sodium content, 283 (17.68%) products were classified as high in sodium, 1244 (77.75%) as medium and 73 (4.56%) as low. As for the claim of reduced sodium meat products, there are still few products, only 35 (2.18%) of the analyzed products had a reduced sodium claim. Given the large number of meat products (90%) being classified as high and medium in sodium content, it is necessary to reformulate meat products and pay greater attention to health agencies, aiming for the industry to produce healthier meat products.
