其他摘要：Food labels might be one of the main
sources of information and guarantees of
protection of the population against the
abusive practices of the industry. A
commited information and knowledge
organization on food labels allows the
population to be better informed on
nutrition and health. Considering food
labels as spaces of knowledge
organization, we aim to analyze some of
the decisions with ethical implications in
the form of equivalence relationships that
can be used in these spaces. More
specifically, we analyzed the listing of
sugars and the use of synonyms of
sucrose in cereal bars, as this is one of the
most controversial aspects in relation to
nutrition and health claims. We conclude
that the analyzed food labels do not
clearly inform the content of sugars in
foods while using rhetorical features,
legal subterfuges, and unethical attitudes
to present the products in a more
marketable way.
