Abstract
The provision of nutrition information is one of the issues recommended by the National Food and Nutrition Policy (PNAN) and Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health from the World Health Organization (WHO), and is already mandatory for packaged food in Brazil and other countries. However, the provision of nutrition information in restaurants is neither mandatory nor a common practice, making it harder for consumers to make food choices according to their needs and habits when eating away from home. This paper presents a review of the consumer’s right to food and nutrition information in restaurants, considering different approaches found in literature. The databases SciELO, Medline, Scopus and Portal Capes were consulted, as well as sites of national and international governmental institutions and technical books . It was concluded that providing this information allow people to enjoy the right to safer and healthier choices. A t the same time it meets the requirements of the law and promotes increased investments by the food industry and restaurants in improving the nutritional quality of foods and information offered.
