Changes in the healthfulness of food and beverage purchases from 2006 to 2022 by outlet type in Mexico
There is a wide range of food outlets in Mexico, each with varying levels of healthfulness. While purchases in supermarkets have become healthier, particularly among higher socioeconomic households and in larger cities, small neighborhood stores have also shown improvements, especially in lower-income households and smaller cities. Since no outlet exclusively sells healthy or unhealthy foods, policies should focus on where people make the majority of their purchases and address healthfulness variations based on education level education and urbanization.
